8 Things You Should Know
Residency Determination for Tuition Purposes
|
- Residency for Tuition Purposes criteria are established by Florida law and regulations established by the Florida Board of Governors. The University of North Florida CANNOT waive State/BOG criteria for ANY reason.
- Living in Florida for a year or longer DOES NOT automatically qualify you for in-state tuition (Florida residency).
- Under Florida law, there is a difference between being a "Florida Resident" and being a "Florida Resident for Tuition Purposes."
- 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.
- Two forms of supporting documentation (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 residency classification term.
- Personal justifications for documents not meeting the 12-month requirement CANNOT be considered. 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.
- Evidence that you are the financial dependent of an out-of-state resident MAY DISQUALIFY you from Florida Residency for Tuition Purposes.
- Financial hardship CANNOT be considered in the determination of Residency for Tuition Purposes.
