Sec. 8.05. Penalty for Incorrect Registration The burden of registering under a proper statement of residence is placed upon the applicant. If there is any question of the legality of the applicant's claim to residence in Michigan under the laws of the state, it is the duty of the applicant to raise the question with the registration officer and have it passed upon and settled by the proper officers of the University before registration. Any student who registers improperly under this rule shall be required to pay the proper nonresident fees, including arrears for any previous registration periods.
