INFORMATION FOR RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION

       A Florida “resident for tuition purposes”  is a person who has, or  a dependent person whose parent of legal guardian has, established and maintained legal residence in Florida for at least twelve months.  Residence in Florida must be as a bonafide domicile rather than for the purpose of maintaining a residence incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education  To qualify as a Florida resident for tuition purposes you must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien, or legal alien granted indefinite stay by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.  Other persons not meeting the twelve-month legal residence requirement may be classified as Florida residents for tuition purposes only if they fall within one of the limited special categories authorized by the Florida Legislature and Board of Regents.  All other persons are ineligible for classification as a Florida “resident for tuition purposes”.  Living in or attending school in Florida will not, in itself, establish legal residence. Students who depend on out-of-state parents for support are presumed to be legal residents of the same state as their parents.

I understand that I do not qualify as a Florida resident for tuition purposes for the term for which this application is submitted and that if I should qualify for some future term it will be necessary for me to file the required documentation prior to the beginning of the term in order to be considered for Florida residency classification.
