UW residency if parent relocates

<p>You would fall under this provision of RCW 28B.15.012, the statute that defines residency for tution purposes:</p>

<p>“A dependent student, if one or both of the student’s parents or legal guardians have maintained a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington for at least one year immediately prior to commencement of the semester or quarter for which the student has registered at any institution.”</p>

<p>In other words, you would have to move there, quickly get what you need to prove domicile (such as driver’s license and voting card) and then the quarter or semester that begins after you have been there for a year will be at in-state tution rates.</p>
