elective c sect as public patient ? any past success stories or advice
Hi all, I will try and keep this as brief as possible - basically I am currently pregnant with baby #3 and am absolutely petrified so much so I havent even seen my gp yet because I don't think I know how to approach it. My first Labour was excessively long and painful waters broken and induced due to meconium in the waters - healthy 7 lbs 9
oz baby - everyone told me second one is easier don't stress Labour will be halved in time etc after dealing with painfully separated abdomen for the latter part of my pregnancy went in to Labour had to have my waters broken again with meconium and then induced 17 hours after being induced pushed for 2 and a bit hours to then have a force delivery with a 9th 14oz baby boy physio for 6 months after birth as my muscle had separated off my pelvis and my hip which made it incredibly hard to look after a 2 year old and new born that was close to 5 km at birth, the pain and struggle still brings me to tears I was not expecting to have another baby soon and I am really freaking out... Is there any possibility of an elective c sect in Melbourne?

hugs mumaDee.....have you consulted with a midwife?
I highly suggest that you have a consultation with one....sounds like you have been through a lot of stress during your pregnancies and birth's.
I've found that a midwife is much more understanding to mums who have had struggles with labor.
I completely understand your desire to have a elected section.
I hope that you can come to a peace with your up coming birth.
Sending positive birth vibes to you and your little one.

I am sorry you had such horrible births. I agree with the previous post - can you consult a midwife to go over what happened in your previous births and help you plan for this one? Having information and support will help you understand your options fully. I am trying to work out what injury/condition you required physiotherapy for. Did they tell you a name? Was it from the birth or pregnancy? From the information you've provided it doesn't sound likely that the birth caused your issues.

Thank you both for your replies, I am not sure as to what the physio was calling it but basically once she saw my limited movement and had a little fiddle around in my back told me everything had come away from where it was meant to have been and then noted that it must have been a forcep delivery - this is where my assumption that it had come from birth came from. In regard to talking to a midwife no I have not done this as yet - at my 6 week check up with my ob/gyn she looked over the birth details and told me to just stop having kids coz i wasn't very good at it

Dear mumaDee,
I'm really sorry to hear that your births were traumatic and that you were not supported better by your doctor at your 6 week check.
I also wanted to clarify, with your first birth you say you were induced due to meconium in the waters but also that you waters were broken. So were you going to be induced anyway - was the first step the hospital breaking your waters?
I want you to know that you have my thoughts and also that birth does not have to be scary and traumatic. A few points stand out to me from your post. The first is that you were induced on both occasions. As I've mentioned above, it would be helpful to know a bit more about why this decision was made. Unfortunately women don't always feel that they have a choice as to whether or not to be induced but they do.
Labours which are induced are more likely to be experienced as painful and traumatic by women and are more likely to lead to medical interventions (such as an assisted forceps delivery). When a labour starts naturally, the hormone Oxytocin is present (the 'feel good hormone') and the cervix will start to open more and more (dilate). In an induction synthetic hormones are used and manually adjusted. In many cases with induction, the woman is unable to find her own space and 'turn off' the subconscious part of her brain and go deeply within herself breathing through the contractions.
Another point which I feel is relevant to your post is the role of fear in labour. Unfortunately, when we are scared and our bodies tense up it is more difficult for the contractions to work efficiently. This also makes it more likely that the contractions will be experienced as pain. Being induced (which will be in a hospital environment) can be an unfamiliar and scary environment (although it doesn't have to be with the right support and knowledge). Waterbirths are also not possible if a woman is on a drip and so the many advantages of these are unavailable.
As a side note, in terms of meconium in the waters this 2011 midwifery journal entry is very interesting on meconium in the waters. Note that it does not necessarily mean that the labour should be induced. Also interestingly in light of what you describe, some sources state that artificially breaking the waters itself makes meconium production in the waters more likely.
I also wanted to share my personal experience of birth with you. The birth of my first son was natural but a long (31 hour) and very traumatic experience for me after which I suffered from post traumatic stress. In fact, the day after he was born I could be found googling elective c-sections on my phone! In the months that followed his birth I cried and panicked at any mention of birth, alongside knowing my longing to have more children.
When we found out we were pregnant again 15 months later I had already started my research. A midwife friend of mine had suggested hypnobirthing and I had also been researching the many benefits of having a doula. We found a wonderful supportive and friendly doula who has taught hypnobirthing. My community midwife was extremely supportive of it. The birth of my second son was a positive, empowering and special experience. I never thought I would say that about birth but being well-informed and supported by the right people (as well as armed with knowledge of research) meant all the difference for me.
I know how it feels to be petrified of birth. My thoughts are with you. But it doesn't have to be like that. Birth (be it natural or not, with pain relief or not, a hospital birth or a home birth etc) can be positive. I hope you are able to find a doula, midwife and antenatal support group who can help you every step of the way. We are also here to support you on this forum.
Warm wishes,

With my first born I had been in discomfort for 2 days but was not progressing they then decided to break my waters and induce me. As you mention the contractions once induced are no fun at all, so with my second born once they decided it was necessary to break my waters I fought off being induced for a few hours after that but they had to in the end as once again my Labour stalled. I did not go into my second birth Ill informed nor will I with this one - however I feel like the vibe is that I haven't done my research when I have and the question was has anyone had an elective c sect in public hospital

You sound well-researched to me. I hope you will also be well-supported in your next birth. Again, I am sorry to hear of your previous painful labours.
Can any of our forum members help - have you had an elective c-section in a public hospital?
Have you come across the my birth online resource which focusses on knowing your rights in pregnancy and birth?
Best wishes,

It hasn't taken long for this intelligent, provocative, smart-ass — and sometimes infuriating — local talk-show host to spread to markets as diverse as Nashville and Portland. So the dude must be doing something right. Even though we generally know where he's going to stand on the day's or week's major events — generally on the redneck end of the spectrum — we also generally rush to hear his take before giving a rat's ass about anybody else's, because Berry is just so damn good at what he does. There are few others in radio — national hosts included — who can hold our attention, and just plain entertain, like Berry can. Houston is lucky to have him.
It's hard to imagine that we're less than three years removed from Robert Ellis's stint playing Whiskey Wednesdays at Mango's and then Fitzgerald's. From that small but loyal fan base — and even earlier in previous band Eyes Like Lions — Ellis has seen his star deservedly rise on the shoulders of his 2011 New West Records debut, Photographs. Along with his 2012 move to Wimberley and eventually Nashville, that year also saw Ellis nominated for an Americana Music Award for Best Emerging Artist alongside eventual winners Alabama Shakes. While all the praise being poured on Ellis is enough to make Houston proud, it's a damn shame you can't find Ellis at Fitz on a weekly basis anymore.
This past summer, the Blaffer Art Museum, nestled on the University of Houston campus, paid the hefty sum of $2.3 million for total reconstruction surgery, and the money was incredibly well spent. The facade evolved into a stunning windowed parallelogram, which both sticks out and enhances the lackluster brick buildings of UH. The interior space is now sprawling and bright, an open and airy dedication to the visual arts. Thin tubes of light cover the ceilings, making for a modern yet classy feel. On the second floor, a balcony overlooks the main gallery, which the museum is now dedicating to emerging artists. If you haven't been since the renovation, do yourself a favor and go.
Poets, novelists and essayists get rock-star receptions at Inprint's two popular reading series, the Margarett Root Brown Reading Series for adults and Cool Brains! for young readers. Authors scheduled for 2013-2014 season readings/onstage interviews and signing sessions include James McBride, George Saunders, Anne Carson and Khaled Hosseini. Past authors have ranged from internationally known Salman Rushdie to Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket. Local writers aren't overlooked, with Houston talent including the city's first poet laureate, Gwendolyn Zepeda, appearing at Inprint readings.
Dedicated in 2006, this ceramic tile mosaic celebrates the rich history of Houston's Fifth Ward by featuring the faces of some truly amazing people who came from the neighborhood — Barbara Jordan, Mickey Leland and George Foreman. In a city known for bulldozing the past to make room for strip malls or townhomes, murals like this one — which reflect upon and teach about the area's cultural heritage — are all the more valuable. It's a remarkable piece of art and a reminder of a remarkable legacy.
Any dancer will tell you that there's a special connection that forms during the run of a performance; the intimacy and trust are necessary for a dance ensemble to be successful. Now put a group of dancers in the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park and make them perform in the streaming fountain, and imagine the level of confidence they must have in each other. In "Natural Acts in Artificial Water," renowned choreographer Stephan Koplowitz and his initiative TaskForce created a masterful ensemble production based on the architecture, history, culture and ecology of the park, and the result was one of the most stunning collaborative dance performance pieces this year.

In fact, he hadn't heard from them since last summer, the day before Briere was awarded a one-year contract worth $5 million.

By Rikki King Herald Writer
EVERETT — Snohomish County animal control officers had a saying about Rocky Abbott.
If you lived in the county, there was a 50-50 chance that Rocky knew you, or was related to you.
Gordon "Rocky" Abbott grew up along Jordan Road, across the street from the South Fork Stillaguamish River. As a kid, he'd jump off the Jordan Bridge and swim.
Abbott made his home in Arlington. He was a county animal control officer for nearly three decades. He died May 25, of natural causes at 52.
Abbott is survived by his wife, Penny Abbott, who works in the county prosecutor's office, and their two grown children, Sydney and Asa.
To his coworkers, Abbott was a mentor, a father figure and the source of many a good-natured prank. He loved animals and people, and he was pretty good at dealing with both.
He was a family man who spent his career enforcing the county's laws regarding animals and their owners. He loved his job, but through it, he also witnessed suffering.
Rocky Abbott worked since he was a boy, cutting timber in the woods and as a farmhand at his uncle's dairy. He loved classic rock, fishing and beer.
He met his wife through friends from Arlington High School. He pursued her. Their first date was a rock concert. They were engaged three months later.
When their first home near Snohomish flooded, they bought a 1906-vintage Victorian country house in Arlington. Together, they remodeled all of it. Rocky Abbott filled the basement with his fishing gear.
Just weeks before he died, the couple celebrated their 31st anniversary on Orcas Island. They'd been around the country and abroad. They'd recently gone to New York, where they ate pizza every night. Penny Abbott's best friend Lori Storle tagged along.
"He would do anything Penny wanted," Storle said. "He was just that kind of person — always wanted to make you happy."
On quiet nights at home, Rocky Abbott liked to have beers, tequila and cigars on the porch with his best friend, Brad Jessup. They liked to listen to the radio and talk.
At work, Abbott would draw off-the-wall captions onto photographs and give them to his colleagues, animal control officer Paul Delgado said. On Mondays in the summertime, they could count on Abbott bringing in pictures from his latest fishing adventure.
Abbott would tell his wife stories about times the cops were busting drug-houses. The drug dealers would have big, mean dogs. The cops would call Abbott. The dogs would come to him, no problem.
Rocky Abbott saw horrible scenes too: hoarders' houses, abused and neglected animals, dead bodies. He'd rescue abandoned feral cats from cupboards and ovens. He'd round up aggressive dogs that were left behind when the owners moved away.
He didn't tell his wife many of those stories, to protect her.
County sheriff's deputies could count on Abbott's knowledge about animals, especially livestock, said Lt. Jeff Brand, who joined the department in 1989.
"Back then, obviously Snohomish County wasn't quite as urbanized as it is now," Brand said. "We had a lot more issues with large animals, cows, horses, things like that."
In one of his first years as a cop, Brand was called out to Clearview, where a cow was blocking traffic. Somehow, he got the cow off the road and tied it to his patrol car.
Rocky Abbott showed up and roped the cow to a tree instead. If the cow had gotten scared, it would have ripped Brand's bumper off. Brand didn't know that. Abbott did.
"That was the kind of thing that Rocky did all the time," Brand said.
He usually knew the owners of the loose animals, too.
"We'd have horses in the road, and when Rocky hears about it, he'd say, oh it's probably so-and-so who lives right up that street," Brand said. "He was invaluable in a lot of ways. But aside from that, he enjoyed his job."
When animal control was moved from the sheriff's office to the auditor's office, the animal control officers were asked if they wanted anything about their jobs to change, department manager Vicki Lubrin said.
Abbott asked: "Could we please not have polyester pants because they snag on the blackberry bushes."
If the officers worried about getting a rig stuck on some dirt road, he'd tell them, "Trust me, I know about getting stuck."
He was serious about the work, though. He would tell his colleagues that no matter what happened, they should try to make things better before they left.
"I don't think I ever saw him lose his cool," animal control officer Angela Davis said. "He could put people in their place, but in a way they weren't offended."
He'd let people vent, to blow off steam, animal control officer Walter Barber said.
"Rocky could handle just about most situations," he said.
"The dairy farmer came out in him a lot," Delgado added.
Once, there was a nasty dog bite case in Index. The victim didn't want medical attention. Abbott told the man he might die if he didn't take care of the wound. The man told him maybe that was best.
Abbott didn't like that answer. He went up to Index every few weeks for a while after that to make sure the man had a clean bandage, and was taking antibiotics.
If his coworkers messed up, they could count on the "father talk" from Abbott, officer Chad Davis said.
"He loved all of us," Davis said.
At home, Abbott took good care of his wife, who years ago was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He'd pour her a glass of wine from their collection. He'd run a hot bath. He'd cook. He liked to copy recipes from their trips to France, like meatballs in red wine gravy.
"Everybody at my work wished he was their husband," Penny Abbott said.
Rocky Abbott even fit in with her quirky family. Once, they planned a "Survivor"-style camping trip, like on TV. Someone on the men's team cheated by hiding beer and pepperoni in the woods before the trip. Rocky Abbott was a suspect.
Their son, Asa, is pursing a master's degree playing the saxophone at the University of British Columbia. No matter where he was performing, Rocky Abbott loved to go and listen.
After their daughter, Sydney Abbott, grew up, he'd still call her to check in, she said. She's saved many of his voice mails — including one when he'd called from a concert, to let her know he'd bought her a T-shirt with profanity on it.
He was a good listener, too, Sydney Abbott said. She got a memorial tattoo for him, a profile of a man fishing, the sun behind him. That's how she sees him, even now, she said.
Rocky Abbott's best friend, Brad Jessup, plans to carry some of his ashes in his tackle box. They'd all planned to retire together one day.
"He'll be fishing with me for the rest of my life," Jessup said.

Special Section: hinkley
BARSTOW - The state's water agency charged with overseeing the world's worst known groundwater plume of chromium-6 has approved a key study that engineers say is essential for large-scale clean-up of the contamination made famous in the year 2000 movie "Erin Brockovich."
San Francisco-based Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and the small unincorporated community of Hinkley, about 10 miles west of here, have been struggling with the plume's contamination of water wells for decades.
Meeting in Barstow Wednesday night, the six-member Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board approved an environmental impact report, which outlines several methods that PG&E will be allowed to use in cleaning up the plume. The board voted 5-0 in favor of the report, with one abstention.
"This is a significant step toward the move for a final remedy," said Jeff Smith, a PG&E spokesman. "This is the first step to broadening our scope of attack of the plume."
Kevin Sullivan, a PG&E environmental engineer in charge of the Hinkley clean-up, said what his company has already learned about knocking down chromium-6 -- a known carcinogen -- in underground water supplies can benefit clean-up efforts anywhere in the world.
The EIR makes no recommendations, as the Lahontan agency can't dictate how underground water pollution is remediated, although it can guide the path of treatment by setting deadlines for various levels of clean-up achievement, Anne Holden, a geological engineer with the South Lake Tahoe-based water agency, said in her briefing before the board.
The vote to accept the 1,000-page document, which took several years to complete, was largely administrative. No new direct action can result from the vote, although future steps leading to vigorous clean-up actions could not proceed without the EIR's approval.
"This is a milestone," Sullivan said, "This is the point where projects can blow up."
At the point where EIR's are slated for approval, it is not unheard of for opposing forces to lock horns, with the result being that the report is never accepted.
Several Hinkley residents who just last week said they were opposed to the remedies studied in the EIR, said privately Wednesday that they were no longer opposed to the document.
"As long as we can make adjustments, I am happy," said Daron Banks, a community leader who is a high school teacher in Barstow.
Lester White, chairman of the Community Advisory Committee, a group that represents the community in dealings with the water board and PG&E, last week also said he opposed the EIR.
"Once I heard how flexible this document is, my perspective changed," he said after the meeting.
The toxic plume beneath Hinkley is the legacy of 12 years of operations, from 1952 to 1964, when chromium-6 was dumped into unlined ponds from giant cooling towers at PG&E's Hinkley compressor station.
From there, during an era when the risks of chromium-6 were not known, the chemical used to kill algae in the cooling towers, percolated into the groundwater.
For the area where the strongest concentrations of chromium-6 reside, PG&E plans to expand a pilot program that demonstrated that chromium-6 can be rapidly converted into its much less toxic relative chromium-3, a compound that does not easily mix with water.
But that program can't be expanded, as noted in the EIR, until PG&E completes a study looking at the release of manganese, which occurs as an unwanted side effect when ethanol is injected into the ground, said Holden.
Many residents say they believe the release of manganese and other metals resulting from the ethanol injection is showing up in their drinking water, in some cases many miles from the compressor station.
Currently, PG&E irrigates several fields where alfalfa and grasses are grown for animal feed. The irrigation water registers low levels of chromium-6, which is rapidly converted to chromium-3 by microbes in the root zones of those plants.
Lauri Kemper, assistant executive officer of the water board, said in a telephone interview Thursday that by pumping underground water over to these agricultural units, there is a potential groundwater risk of increasing salts, nitrates and other chemicals, which would degrade water quality.
In the fall, the Lahontan agency plans to issue draft waste discharge orders that will seek to limit harmful by-products, which may result from PG&E's planned expansion of agricultural treatment areas.
The orders could be approved late this year or early next year, Kemper said.
Early next year, the board will issue a draft clean-up and abatement order, which will set near-term targets for PG&E to meet, Holden said in her presentation Wednesday night.
The ultimate clean-up could take 40 years or more.
"Many property owners won't live to see their home values return to where they were," White said.
A few weeks ago the San Bernardino County Assessor's Office mailed Hinkley residents revised appraisals for their property which drastically sliced assessed values.

Feminism | Posted by Talia on 01/25/2013
Israel's "Photoshop Law"
As of January 1, what the media has dubbed the "Photoshop Law" has gone into effect in Israel. This law mandates that models working in Israel have to have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5, the lowest healthy BMI possible, and companies have to clearly label advertisements containing pictures that were even slightly Photoshopped. Foreign ads must also comply. Considering 10% of teenagers in Israel suffer from eating disorders and anorexia is the number-one killer in the 15-24 age group, this law was sorely needed.
Rachel Adato, the sponsor of the bill, has been very involved in women's health throughout her career. She served as the Chairperson of the National Council for Women's Health and Advisor …

During the Spring semester, students will be typically available from late January through the end of April.
2.) How many hours of service will the students be doing?
While it is up to the individual professor, typically the service experience will require anywhere between 15-30 hours for the semester.
3.) How will I know what the faculty member's expectations are?
Your expectations will be explained to you before the service begins, either by the course professor or by one of the staff members from the Center for Service and Community Engagement.
4.) Will I know what the course objectives are?
You are more than welcome to a copy of the course syllabus - this is actually a great way to figure out a position that will meet the needs of your organization and also be beneficial to the student.

Residence Classification of Students for Tuition Purposes (II.D.1)

History and Updates
This policy establishes the principles and procedures by which Students will be classified as Residents or non-Residents by Purdue University for tuition and fee purposes. An individual could be considered a legal resident of the state of Indiana for specific purposes, such as paying taxes, obtaining a driver's license, voting in Indiana elections, or running for public office, but not qualify as a Resident for Resident Student status.
The assessment of tuition and fees for a given session is based upon the Student's residence classification prior to the first day of classes for that session. The initial classification of a Student for tuition purposes will continue in effect for subsequent academic sessions unless and until such classification is changed.
The University will consider each Student's individual situation. University representatives responsible for determining residence classification are authorized to require such certificates, affidavits, documents, or other evidence as they deem necessary for both the initial classification of a Student and any subsequent requests by the Student to change residence classification. In all cases, the burden of proof is on the Student making a claim to Resident Student status.
The Indiana legislature, through state statute, has delegated to Indiana's institutions of higher education the authority to determine when a person becomes eligible for Resident Student status for the purpose of paying fees at the university. As a land-grant, state-supported institution of higher education, Purdue University recognizes the significance of the issue of residence classification. Therefore, its Board of Trustees has established different tuition and fee rates for Residents and non-Residents.

- Determination of Residence Classification
- When determining a Student's residence classification, the University official will consider each Student's individual situation. Contributing conditions may include, but are not limited to:
- A move to Indiana a significant period of time (at least 12 months) prior to enrolling at an institution of higher education, during which time the Student (if Emancipated) is employed or engaged in a substantive activity unrelated to educational pursuits;
- Existence of non-academic reasons for coming to Indiana and abandoning the previous Domicile;
- Reliance on Indiana sources of income, paying Indiana income tax, and managing finances through Indiana financial institutions;
- Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Indiana;
- Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Indiana;
- Ownership of real estate in Indiana that is not typically owned by a Student;
- Other evidence that demonstrates Domicile in Indiana and/or Predominant Purpose.
- Examples of documentation that may be required during the residence classification process include, but are not limited to, a driver's license, vehicle registration, voter registration, state and federal income tax returns, military orders or other documents specifically stationing a person to serve active duty in Indiana, and employment records.
- The following specific provisions apply when determining residence classification:
- A non-U.S. citizen will not be considered for residence classification under this policy unless the individual has been granted by the Office of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) either lawful permanent resident status or an immigration status that would permit the non-U.S. citizen to establish a Domicile in Indiana.
- A Student who is not Emancipated may be classified as a Resident Student without his or her parent(s) meeting the 12-month residency requirement if the parent(s) establishes residency in Indiana and clearly demonstrates that the move to Indiana was for Predominant Purpose.
- Indiana Residents and their dependent children who leave Indiana for reasons such as military assignment or employment reassignment (normally not to exceed four years) may maintain residence classification, provided said persons continue their Domicile in Indiana while away from the state.
- An honorably discharged United States Armed Forces veteran who was a resident of Indiana prior to joining the military, who was in the military for four years or less and changed his or her state of residence, and who applies for admission to Purdue University within six months following separation from the service will be considered a Resident for tuition and fee purposes after one academic session of enrollment, providing that such person applies for residence classification and takes necessary actions within the first academic session of enrollment to establish residency in the state of Indiana in accordance with this policy. The dependents of such person will be considered Residents under these conditions as well.
- If an individual establishes his or her Emancipated status for a period exceeding 12 months, the Emancipated status will be deemed permanent for the purpose of this policy.
- A significant change in family circumstances, such as a job transfer, death, loss of a job, health reasons, etc., may warrant consideration of reclassification for purposes of this policy.
- Notwithstanding any other rule, any non-Resident Active Duty United States Military personnel assigned to serve active duty in the state of Indiana and attending Purdue University is entitled to classification as an in-state Student for tuition purposes for the duration of the enrollment. A copy of the standing orders is required to substantiate this assignment. Dependents of such United States military personnel attending Purdue University also are entitled to classification as Indiana Residents for the duration of their enrollment.
- Once properly classified as a Resident, a Student will remain a Resident Student as long as he or she remains continuously enrolled in the University (subject to the provisions of section II). To be continuously enrolled, a Student must complete coursework in at least two academic sessions (excluding summer) during a consecutive 12-month period. If the Student is not continuously enrolled, his or her residence classification will be determined by: 1) the Parent's Domicile if the Student is not Emancipated or 2) the Student's Domicile if he or she is Emancipated.
- When determining a Student's residence classification, the University official will consider each Student's individual situation. Contributing conditions may include, but are not limited to:
- Changes from Non-Resident to Resident Classification
The University will presume that the initial non-Resident classification is accurate until sufficient evidence is presented to the classifying official to warrant classification as a Resident.
A Student's application for classification as a Resident must be submitted in writing on a form supplied by the registrar any time after the Domicile requirement has been met, including one year of consecutive residence, but no later than 15 business days after the first day of classes of the academic session for which classification is sought. A decision will be rendered no later than 30 business days after a complete application is filed.
- Changes from Resident to Non-Resident Classification
If a Student is classified as a Resident, the University may initiate a reclassification inquiry based on changes in facts that would justify such an inquiry.
If an Emancipated Student establishes and maintains a Domicile outside of the state of Indiana for a period of 12 consecutive months, the Student will be reclassified to non-Resident status at the end of the 12-month period. Reclassification will be effective beginning with the first academic session following the period of 12 consecutive months.
- Failure to Provide Adequate Information
A Student who fails to notify the University of a change in factors or provides false information that might affect classification or reclassification from Resident to non-Resident will be required to pay any retroactive fees that would have been assessed. In addition, a Student who provides false information or conceals information for the purpose of maintaining or achieving Resident classification may be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, as well as other penalties that may be prescribed by the law.
- Residence Classification Appeal
A Student who is not satisfied with the determination concerning his or her residence classification may appeal the decision to the Residence Appeal Committee at the campus where he or she is enrolled. The appeal must be filed within 30 business days after the first day of classes of the academic session for which the determination is effective, or within 30 business days after the original decision has been reconsidered, whichever occurs later. Failure to file an appeal within this specified time limit will constitute a waiver of all claims for reconsideration for that academic session.
The appeal must be in writing and include reasons for the appeal and a complete statement of the facts upon which the appeal is based. The written appeal must be forwarded to the Chair of the Residence Appeal Committee.
Consistent with the general intent and purpose of this policy, the Residence Appeal Committee may uphold or reverse the decision of the classifying official. The committee is authorized to classify a Student as a Resident, though not meeting the specific requirements herein set forth, if the Student's situation presents unusual circumstances and the classification is within the general scope of this policy. Persons otherwise responsible for determining residence classification of Students may assist the committee in a consultative capacity. The decision of the committee in all cases will be final.
Residence classification information and the forms are available on each Purdue University campus's Office of the Registrar's website:

July 15, 2010: Significant revisions to the policy have been made and it has been formatted in the current University policy template. Approval of these revisions was granted by the Board of Trustees at their July 8-9, 2010, meeting.
