alef Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Does anyone know if a student can continue to claim in state residency if their parents move out of state? I'm asking for a friend, the student will be attending a Florida university, the family has lived in Florida for two years but the parents are moving this summer after the student graduates from high school.

8filltheheart Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 We have moved, but it has been after the student was already a full time student. They need to call the school and ask. For us, as long as the student remained a full time student and didn't claim instate elsewhere, they could remain instate. Full time did not require summers. Taking classes during summer in our new location required paying OOS or would have violated the latter condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I would consider putting that under the heading of "don't ask don't tell." What will they do if the school decides to start charging for out of state tuition? Transfer? My husband lives in a different state than the rest if us and this caused a lot of confusion and angst when my daughter accidentally disclosed it. Since we are still married, they wanted to charge us out of state rates even though the kids and I have been AZ residents for the past 8 years. We spend summers with him in his apartment but we own a home here. They really weren't sure what to do with us, especially since the siblings don't attend public school in the state. No, special cases often cause individuals to make judgement calls that are often not in your favor. I'd just keep quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdrinca Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This happened to my roommate in college, and I don't remember it being a very big deal. There were minor things he had to do in order to get in-state residency, so, for example, he had to use his college address as his permanent address (the address on his licence, checks, car registration, insurance, etc.). I do suspect it varies from state to state. I wonder if the age of the student plays a part too - would this student be 18 at the time of residency?

Elisabet1 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 They will certify residency before then. It will be fine. I have seen others who have a parent move away and the residency stays the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
