Dependent
students are 24 years or younger and are
claimed by their parent or legal guardian as a
dependent on the most recent Federal income
tax form.
Dependent students,
whose parent or legal guardian is a Florida resident, may request in-state residency status by completing the
following:
Provide evidence that substantiates
the parent or legal guardian's
legal ties to the State of Florida. At least two of the following documents from the parent/legal guardian must be dated/issued 12 months
prior to the first day of classes for which
the student is enrolling. No single document is conclusive
and additional documents may be
requested.
Moreover, the parent must also demonstrate the absence of legal ties to another state and establishment of a bona-fide domicile in Florida (rather than maintaining a temporary residence incident to enrollment at the university). Continued legal ties to another state contradict establishment of Florida domicile.
Required
Documentation (provide at least two)
Florida driver’s license
Florida vehicle registration
Florida vehicle title
Florida voter’s registration
Declaration of domicile
Proof of purchase of a permanent home in Florida
Florida occupation/professional license
Florida incorporation or other evidence of legal residence in Florida
Submit
documentation to prove the student’s dependent status
copy of the
parent's/legal guardian's most recent federal income tax return indicating that the student was claimed as a dependent,
OR
notarized letter indicating that the parent or legal guardian provides a minimum of 50% or more of the student’s support.
