If I am an international student who is classified as a PA resident and switch my visa to F or J, would I be (or still be) considered in state for tuition purposes?

If you are an international student and you obtain an F or J visa, you will be classified as a non-PA resident for tuition purposes. If you previously met the policy definition for in-state residency, then your residency status will be reclassified from PA resident to non-PA resident when you change your visa status. Students with an F or J visa do not meet the requirements for in-state residency under Penn State's Residency Policy.
