[Oacrao-l] Oacrao-l Digest, Vol 64, Issue 3 (Citizenship Questions)

This is our current policy at SWOSU.

On our application the first question is "Are you a citizen of the US?"  If the answer is no then the next question asks the student to select a residency status.  Our options are "Permanent, Permanent Pending, International, Undocumented, or Asylee.  Our application also has country of birth.  

If someone indicates they are a citizen but born outside of the US, we require proof of citizenship before admitting the student.  

For our non-citizen students, here is a quick list of required documents:

International 
(our international affairs coordinator takes care of this so I am skipping this part)

Undocumented
Affidavit of Intent (reminder is placed on my calendar to ensure follow-up at the 1 year time limit)

Asylee
Letter from State Department

Permanent Resident Pending
Proof of Perm Res Pending Status (usually court documentation)

Permanent Resident
Proof of Perm Res (copy of Perm Res Card) (If the card is only valid for a short time (less than 5 years), a reminder is placed on my calendar to ensure follow-up prior to expiration, but if the card is good for 5 or more years from the time of admission, we do not have a follow-up in place at this time)

Hope this helps.

Thank you and have a great day!

Colleagues,

I am looking to establish the general practice for students to indicate citizenship on applications for admission. These are Admission questions only and are not related to in-state residency decisions.

Question 1: How specific are your citizenship and/or country of birth questions on your application for admission. Do you simply ask a "Yes/No" in regards to citizenship or to you have follow-up questions?
Question 2: If students are not citizens what documents and/or information do you require (if any) prior to admission?

Examples:

A: Student indicates that she was born in Japan but is a naturalized citizen.
                Do you require additional documentation for admission?
B: Student indicates that they are not a citizen of the United States.
                What additional documents do you require?
C: Student is a Lawful Permanent Resident.
                Do you require a copy of the LPR card? Do you apply any future holds.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jon,

This is the information we request on Southeastern's application:


Are you a U.S. Citizen?   * Yes    *No, Country of Citizenship:                                                     Additional forms are required for international student (F-1) admission.

Are you a permanent resident of Oklahoma? (To be considered for "In-State" status, you/your parents must have lived in Oklahoma for the last 12 months for non-education reasons.)
* Yes, Oklahoma Resident, List COUNTY:
              How long have you lived in Oklahoma?
* No, Out-Of-State Resident, List STATE:
* Resident Alien, List Alien Registration #:                                                                                         (Attach front and back copy of card.)

Place of Birth:
                                    City                                              State                                 Country

If they indicate that they were born outside of the U.S., we request additional documentation prior to admission.    Naturalization/citizenship paperwork, permanent resident cards, etc.
