Residency for Tuition
How to apply for residency
All U.S. citizens, permanent residents and others included in Section
4 of the Board of Education Rule 6a-10.044 above are eligible to
apply for Florida residency. Residency for tuition purposes is
controlled exclusively by laws enacted by the Florida Legislature. For
the purpose of assessing tuition, residency and nonresidency status
shall be determined as provided in Classification of Students, Florida
or Non-Florida (Section 6A-10.044, Florida Administrative Code),
Section 240.1201, Florida Statutes, and the Florida State University
System Residency Policy and Procedure Manual [revised effective
October 17, 2000]. For the entire law, see
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes. Staff members in the Office of
the University Registrar review applications for Florida resident
status, together with supportive documentation, and render a
decision based on the documentation and the requirements of
Florida law.
This law, the rules, and the implementation manual presume that
students initially classified as nonresident will not be reclassified as
residents merely by being enrolled for 1 year. The applicant is
responsible for providing all of the documents needed to merit a
reclassification for tuition purposes.
A student wishing to establish residency should pick up the Request
for Change in Residency Status form from the Office of the
University Registrar, 222 Criser Hall, to review the information and
items that may be requested when the student files for Florida
residency for tuition purposes. The deadline for applying for a
change in residency status, including receipt of all documentation, is
each term's fee payment deadline. Residency reclassification cannot
be applied for retroactively for previous terms.
