A Florida "resident for tuition purposes" is a person who (or a dependent person whose parent or legal guardian) has established and maintained legal
residence in Florida for at least 12 months immediately preceding the first day of class for the term you wish to pay in-state fees. Residence in Florida must
be as a bonafide domiciliary rather than for the purpose of maintaining a residence incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education. Other persons
not meeting the 12 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 Education (see below). All other persons are ineligible for classification as a Florida
"resident for tuition purposes."
IMPORTANT
a. To qualify as a Florida resident for tuition purposes, you must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien, or a legal alien granted indefinite stay by the
US Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration or in one of the following visa categories: A, E, G, H1, H4, I, K, L, N, 0-1, 0-3,R & NATO 1-7, which have
been approved by the State of Florida for eligibility (all other residency requirements apply).
b. Living in or attending school in Florida will not, in itself, establish legal residence.
c. Students who depend on out-of-state parents for support or are claimed as a federal tax exemption are presumed under the law to be legal residents
of the same state as their parents.
d. Residence in Florida must be for the purpose of establishing a permanent home and not merely for enrollment at an institution of higher education.
e. Documents supporting the establishment of legal residence must be issued or filed 12 months before the first day of classes of the term for which a
Florida resident classification is sought.
