<p>I'm currently living in Maryland, and this is my last semester in community college. The plan was to transfer to University or MD or Townson Uni., but my mom is deciding to move to a different state(West Va) so I was wondering will I still be able to get In state tuition if I go to one of these schools?</p>
<p>Here is the link to the residency requirements for UMD. [VIII270</a> - USM](<a href=“http://www.usmh.usmd.edu/regents/bylaws/SectionVIII/VIII270.html]VIII270”>http://www.usmh.usmd.edu/regents/bylaws/SectionVIII/VIII270.html) Call their admissions office and discuss it with them. You’ll need to google the Residency requirements for WVU to see what they require.</p>
<p>You need to do everything to establish your own residency in MD. Driver’s license? Job (with a filed tax return)? Permanent address. Do not go to WV to work for the summer.</p>
<p>Have you already applied to the 4 year schools? Once you are in you are likely to retain the status given when first accepted.</p>
<p>Twoinone…your post is a definite maybe. </p>
<p>This poster needs to be upfront about her residency. Simply getting a drivers license and registering to vote in the state MIGHT not gain her instate residency status if her parent’s establish a domicile in ANOTHER state. At some colleges, the domicile state of the PARENTS is the only acid test for instate status.</p>
<p>This student is NOT currently enrolled at a MD public four year university. I’m not sure what her status would be if her parents move BEFORE she actually begins her classes. She needs to contact the colleges and ask them. Each MD four year school could have different requirements. She should also speak to the transfer advisor at her community college. She is an instate resident now, and perhaps she will continue as such if she enrolls at a four year public university within the same state. </p>
<p>Bottom line…poster needs to be honest. If she pays instate rates when not entitled to them, and the school discovers this (and yes, this does happen), the student would be likely asked to pay the difference in the instate vs OOS rates…because she got something she was not entitled to.</p>
<p>Best to check with EACH four year public university she plans to apply to.</p>
