Residency question...help!

<p>My daughter applied and was accepted to UVa...shortly after I was laid off from my job and have since accepted a job in FL. My daughter wants to stay at UVa and we were wondering what it takes as far as her becoming an independent student. I know we can't claim her on taxes or provide alot of support. I do have family here in Charlottesville area so that would help I guess. Do they require her to establish independent student status 1 year before the next school year starts? Are we good for her freshman year even though my wife and I will be moving out of state after she starts school?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Give the Office of Virginia Status at call. The lawyer there can explain what you can and can’t do if she is to remain a VA resident.</p>
