How do I prove residency for a university?

Answer 1

School requirements vary from state to state. Only your school can tell you for sure what they require. What school is it?

You may have to provide tax returns for the last several years. When I lived in California the community college let high schoolers attend classes for free but had a residency requirement of three years so I still had to pay for the courses even though I was in high school at the time because I hadn't lived there that long. :(

Later on, I had a H*LL of a time proving to Boston University that I was a resident of Massachusetts even though I had no other home. My parents moved directly from CA to another state and I moved to Massachusetts after high school--so the other state claimed I wasn't a resident because I hadn't lived there and MA claimed I wasn't a resident because my parents didn't live there.

The short of it is, if you're under 23 it may be that the only way you can prove residency is to prove that your parents live there or that you graduated high school in that state, otherwise you may end up in "residential limbo".

If you mention the name of the university, we may be able to figure it out for you from their website.

Good luck!
