You should be ok. As a dependent student under the age of 24, your residency is based on your parents; if you have even one parent who is “domiciled” (living and working) in MI than you can be classified as in-state. If MSU doesn’t consider you as in-state automatically, you can file a reclassification application. One they see your mom’s employment and tax information, then it should be approved. We recently went through this (successfully); we had to submit W2 forms, MI tax returns, mortgage/lease paperwork, driver licenses, employment letter, and D’s birth certificate. See this site for the regulations, paying attention to the sections about basing residency on a parent: [MSU RO:Out-Of-State Tuition Regulations](MSU RO: Regulations for Qualifying for In-State Tuition)
