<p>Question! I've lived in Michigan for 16ish years now, so I was just wondering, if my parents were to move to North Carolina in August of my freshman year, would I still be eligible for in-state tuition for UMich?</p>
<p>nope, sorry but that is the sucky reality of it</p>
<p>this might clear things up, but if they were move my freshman year of college*</p>
<p>right i know, i think u would get instate for your freshman year of college* and then u would lose it</p>
<p>Is there anyway you could have them use a relatives address? Or you could claim as an independent? What sucks is that say if you were to go to UNC they would have to wait to get in state.</p>
<p>You will be 18 when you are a freshman. It seems you should be able to claim your residency based on your age and the fact that you've lived in Michigan your whole life. Just rent an apartment in your name year round and don't change your mailing address to NC.</p>
<p>good point rjkofnovi that sounds like the way to go. You won't have to provide proof unless your parents are writing checks, but just have them keep an account open in michigan and use your apt address and say you are living with your parents!</p>
<p>Sounds like you will keep your resident status...</p>

<p>iii. Dependent Resident Student Who Remains in Michigan When Parents Leave the State. If you are a student living in Michigan with your parents and permanently domiciled in the state as defined by University Residency Classification Guidelines, you are presumed to retain resident status eligibility if your parents leave the state provided: (1) you have completed at least your junior year of high school prior to your parents' departure, (2) you remain in Michigan, enrolled full-time in high school or an institution of higher education, and (3) you have not taken steps to establish a domicile outside Michigan or any other action inconsistent with maintaining a domicile in Michigan.</p>
