If my parents are to buy a house in oregon, and I am looking to go to the university of oregon, will i pay instate tuition, or out of state tuition? Also, what if I was to move into a house that my uncle bought? thank you for your help

Answer 1

* Establishment of a domicile and predominant physical presence in Oregon for a period of 12 months or more prior to the beginning of the term for which residency is sought
* Financial dependence on an Oregon resident or financial independence
* Primary purpose for being in Oregon other than to obtain an education
* Nature and source of financial resources
* Various other indicia of residency (e.g., ownership of Oregon living quarters, permanent Oregon employment, payment of Oregon income taxes


If you are financially dependent on the Oregon parent, and the Oregon parent has established residency, then you would be considered to be a resident. You are considered to be dependent if you have been claimed on a parent’s state and federal tax forms. Students in these circumstances are often required to complete additional documentation verifying the financial support that has been provided by each parent.

If you take more than eight credits per term, in any term, in those first twelve months, the state will presume that your primary purpose for living in the state is for educational purposes, and you will continue to be classified as a non-resident.

Answer 2

Residency is established after you have lived in the state for a certain period of time, sometimes its six months, sometimes its a year. It all depends on the university. Owning a house or moving to the state does not automatically make you a resident.

Answer 3

I know in Florida, you must live in the state for 12 months prior to enrollment for the in state rate. If your parents lived there for the previous 12 months (and you are under age 22), you may still qualify. See the guidance counselor at your planned college.

Answer 4

Check with the school about what their residency procedure is. Sometimes they say you have to live in state for at least a year before you're considered in state.

Answer 5

Theres a certain amount of time required to be declared a resident of the state

Answer 6

You become a resident after living there a certain amount of time.

Answer 7

takes roughly 6 months to declare for in state
