Parents moving out...how does it affect in-state tuition

<p>I'm over 18 and been enrolled in a NC state supported institution for three years so far. My parents are about to move to another state in a few months and I would like know how this will affect my residency status? Will I still be eligible for in-state tuition until the end of my college education? </p>

<p>I am currently living in my own apartment, have a job, but do not file taxes seperately.</p>

<p>It depends on the school. What school are you attending? You should probably check with your FA office.</p>

<p>University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill</p>

<p>I think the key is that you are still on their tax returns.</p>

<p>How do I proceed to file my own taxes? At what age can I do that? I’m over 18. I receive some money through scholarships and work as teaching assistant.</p>

<p>Clarity on this is of utmost importance. You should get official information from the school and act accordingly. Call them Monday. CC is fine but not for something so essential as this. Good luck to you</p>

<p>I realize that but I want to be able to ask this to the school officials in the most concise way as possible.</p>

<p>You’ve got that: I’m a NC resident, but my parents plan to move out of the state. I have an apartment in NC, where I live apart from them. What’s going to happen to my residency status? Is there other information that would be helpful to make that determination? If it’s questionable, is there anything I could do that would tip the scales in my favor?</p>
