<p>I've got a question, say that you're currently living in a state and you get accepted to an instate school and then after a year your parents move to another state,will your tution stay the same?</p>
<p>What if your parents move to another</p>
<p>Colleges realize that people are going to try to get in-state tuition after being accepted OOS, and they make it difficult. Residency is based on a preponderance of factors such as driver's license, renting/owning a residence, paying taxes. After a preponderance of the factors indicate that you are a state resident have been met, and you have resided in the state for a year, then you can get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>If your parents move into the state, then it is typically easy to meet the in-state requirements but they still have to be there for a year before you can get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>This is a good thread to look at:

<p>Once you have residency, you will continue to have residency if you are enrolled full time.</p>
<p>Commonsense is asking the OPPOSITE question. He wants to know if his instate residency remains instate IF his parents move. I believe that most states have provisions for this for a limited period of time. For example, I know a family here and the youngster attended our instate flagship U as a freshman. His parents moved OOS after his freshman year. He was considered instate for his sophomore year, but OOS after that. These rules vary from state to state. I would suggest contacting the university to see what their policy is.</p>
<p>Sorry about hte opposite question thing. I misread it. You should check with the individual colleges to be sure. Just randomly, Ohio State says:</p>
<p>"If my parents move out of Ohio, how is my residency affected?
The state residency guidelines have two "grandfather clauses" to address this. If your parents are Ohio residents and move out of the state while you are an enrolled resident student at OSU, you will continue to be classified as a resident through the completion of one degree program, provided that you maintain continuous enrollment (3 out of 4 quarters each year). If you apply for a second degree program (i.e. graduate or professional school), your residency will be reviewed and you will have to meet the residency criteria on your own. Similarly, if you are a dependent student applying for admission to OSU and your Ohio resident parents move out of the state, you will be considered a resident as long as you enroll within 12 months of the date your parents physcially moved out of Ohio. A student would then have to maintain continuous enrollment (3 out of 4 quarters each year). Students will be required to submit proof of when their parents sold their home in Ohio (or ended an apartment lease) and physcially left Ohio in addition to when their employment ended in Ohio. When a parent physically leaves Ohio and also ends their employment are both factors in determining when a parent has left Ohio and 12 month period begins for which a student must enroll."</p>
<p>This is pretty clear, but other colleges may not be as clearcut on their websites. If there is any doubt, you should contact the college before deciding to go there.</p>
<p>thumper,
Which state was that?</p>
<p>Connecticut</p>
<p>I think many North Carolina schools have a similar reg for that situation.</p>
<p>University of Connecticut ... rules for residency classification:<a href="http://admissions.uconn.edu/apply/residency_statute.php%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.uconn.edu/apply/residency_statute.php</a></p>
<p>"(4) Any unemancipated person who remains in this state when his parent, having theretofore been domiciled in this state, removes from this state, shall be entitled to classification as an in-state student until attainment of the degree for which he is currently enrolled, so long as his attendance at a school or schools in this state shall be continuous."</p>
<p>Thanks Goblue..glad to hear that is the case now. Because of the many job closings in this state, and companies who have moved out of state, this is a very good thing. Perhaps this changed because of all the company closings/relocations. I think it is the right thing to do!!</p>
