1. Residency
Reclassification criteria are established by Florida law and Florida
Department of Education regulations. The Registrar's Office CANNOT
waive State/DOE criteria for ANY reason.
2. Living in Florida for a year or longer DOES NOT automatically
qualify you for in-state tuition (Florida residency).
3. Under Florida law, there is a difference between being a "Florida
Resident" and being a "Florida Resident for Tuition
Purposes."
4. To be considered a "Florida Resident for Tuition Purposes,"
you MUST prove through OFFICIAL and/or LEGAL DOCUMENTS that you
have permanently moved to Florida and have had a physical presence
in the state for a minimum of twelve months. You will not be approved
if you are merely living in Florida to attend school.
5. At least one supporting document (for example, driver's license,
vehicle registration, voter registration card) MUST be dated 12
COMPLETE MONTHS prior to the first day of classes for the requested
reclassification term. The other supporting documents will also
be requested.
6. The Registrar's Office CANNOT consider personal justifications
for documents not meeting the 12-month requirement. For example:
"I have one now, but I did not get a driver's license when I moved
here a year ago because..." CANNOT be considered.
7. Leases and employment verification show physical presence
only. By themselves, they DO NOT qualify you for Residency Reclassification.
8. Ties to another state or country WILL DISQUALIFY you from
Residency Reclassification.
9. Evidence that you are the financial dependent of an out-of-state
resident WILL DISQUALIFY you from the Residency Reclassification.
10. Financial hardship CANNOT be considered in Residency Reclassification.
11. Despite the length of time you attend UNF, you MAY NOT be
able to qualify for "Florida Residency for Tuition Purposes."
