Answer 1

Usually you have to take residence within 30 days of moving to a new state. You have to check as some universities require 6 months of residency, some a year. When you take up residency in a new state as in your case, you are automatically an out of state student.

Answer 2

Good answer above... best thing to do is check the institution to see what their specific requirements are. I made an out of state move last year and the colleges over here have their in state resident as 1 year as a state/county resident.

Answer 3

Hi Love,

Most want you to reside in the state for a year and prove that you are a resident. Proof? Are you a registered voter in your new state. Do you have a drivers license in your new state? Are you filing new state or old state tax returns. My university did ask for this info when I moved. The first year, I paid thru the nose. Afterwards, it was all down hill. Contact them NOW before you make the move.

Answer 4

I moved to Florida for school and I know you had to live in state for 12 months before qualifying for the lower tuition. They may differ for other states - never hurts just to call the school and ask the question, they will normally be more than happy to explain the policy

Answer 5

maximum state universities require you to have been a resident of that state for 6 months. in case you had to circulate to an out of state college, all you are able to ought to do is stay off campus for 6 months and pay the out of state training in this time. as quickly as you have lived off campus for 6 months you are able to prepare as a state resident and pay the in state training for that college.
