Where will I get in state tuition?

[Matice134]

<p>I moved to NC in sept 2012 from MD. I had been living in MD for 3 years and my mom paid taxes there. Back in September I moved to NC with my little brother, but my mom stayed in MD, and moved in with my aunt. but paid the bills in NC. She filled her taxes last year in MD. She has not done her taxes yet in 2013. i was told from MD universities that I will not get in state tuition in MD because I am graduating from a NC high school. I was also told I won't get instate tuition in NC until I have been here a full year? What do I do? Where will I get instate tuition?</p>

<p>I think it depends on the school’s/states policies. IIRC, many if not all public state schools have residency/OOS classifications page. </p>

<p>I also remembered that if you were under a certain age, it had a lot to do with who you were dependent under. If you’re dependent under your mom and under a certain age, then you’ll possibly be able to get MD residency as she’s a MD taxpayer. Of course, each state is different so probably check with the university’s webpage or state’s residency laws. I’d call the school if you can’t find anything online or need clarification.</p>

<p>Do you mean for this fall? If so, it sounds like you would have to be granted an exception to get in-state tuition in either state. The case for Maryland is probably stronger, because the most important factor for a dependent is always where the parent(s) resides.</p>

<p>Some schools will allow you to be a resident based on the amount of time in the state when classes begin, in which case September might be fine. but all this is very school dependent. You need to read the residency websites for each school you are considering. Sometimes different schools in the same state have slightly different rules.</p>

<p>This makes it a tough situation all the way around. For U Maryland:

Either of the following circumstances raises a presumption that the student is residing in the State of Maryland primarily for the purpose of attending an educational institution and therefore, does not qualify for in-state status under this policy:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>A student is attending school or living outside Maryland at the time of application for admission to a USM institution, or</p></li>
<li><p>A student is Financially Dependent on a person who is not a resident of Maryland.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>This presumption may be rebutted.

<p>For UNC:

Determining the domicile of a student who is a minor starts with the following basic common law principles:
• A person under 18 years of age is a minor under North Carolina law and deemed, under the common law, dependent on his or her parents for domicile.

<p>The OP seems to be stuck in between and will have to file a rebuttal.</p>
