Residency
Residency Information
Being a Florida resident for tuition purposes means the ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp pays less per credit hour than a non-Florida resident. In order to be classified as a Florida resident for tuition purposes, the ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp or the ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp's parent/legal guardian must have established Bona Fide Domicile and legal ties to the state for Florida, at least 12 consecutive months prior to the first day of the term in which the ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp is seeking in-state residency status. A ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp is classified as either a dependent or independent ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp. In rare cases, a ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp may qualify for temporary in-state status by qualifying under an Exception Category.
