<p>How easy/likely is it to be awarded in state tuition after your first or second year? If you live at IU over the summer in an apartment as well as hold a paying job and be emancipated (meaning your parents do no claim you as a dependent on their taxes) is that sufficient? </p>
<p>has any out of state student been changed to instate tuiton? if so how did you do it?</p>
<p>It’s highly unlikely. When you entered the state your predominant purpose of being in IN was for education. A job will not change that. Many students spend the summer in Bloomington and work. There is more to emancipation than whether or not your parents claim you on your taxes. </p>

<p>My husband’s ex wanted to try this for their daughter , but it’s a no go
Residency requirements are tough and involve tax filing , working in the state and more. If it was that easy , everyone would do it</p>
<p>This is true in most every state, not just Indiana, fyi. I think maybe once upon a time you could get ‘in-state’ status easier, but these days, no way! States need all the funds they can get & are loathe to give in-state tuition to out-of-staters.</p>
<p>Not gonna happen.</p>
<p>I have some questions also regarding in state tuition, just wondering really…
Anyway, I’m 22, and planning to move to Bloomington. I might take some classes at Ivy tech, and then would try to transfer to IU. Let’s say I get in, could I get instate tuition if I’d been living in Bloomington Awhile?
If you’re wondering why I want to move there, both of my parents are living near Bloomington, and are Indiana residents. Also, I am moving from where I live now regardless, I hate it here, and Bloomington is my first choice. I was just wondering more as a curious factor, but moving anyway, even if I won’t get instate tuition in the future. </p>
<p>Thanks for reading and sorry if I’m going off topic…I don’t usually use forums, so I wasn’t sure of making a new thread or not.</p>
<p>I can’t interpret the rules in the pdf below, but, if you move to Indiana, you should as soon possible after arriving in the state register your car, get an Indiana drivers license, register to vote in Indiana, and get a job in Indiana. The rules, and a list of other things that may be considered in an appeal are listed in the document.</p>

<p>If your parents are Indiana residents and you are not yet married, then you would have a much better argument for getting in-state tuition.</p>
<p>The key is that you are a resident for 12 months prior to beginning at IU and probably Ivy Tech. Since you are over 21 it doesn’t matter where your parents live. Do as bthomp suggests as soon as you move to B-ton.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies to you kind folk :). And yes, I know having my parents there doesn’t “help me,” since I am considered an independent. Even if I was under 21, they relinquished legal guardianship when I was 15. I was just stating one of the reasons for moving there :D</p>
<p>has anyone currently at IU (previously oos) or any grads been granted in state tuition?</p>
