Residency
Eligible admitted students must complete University Admissions' residency verification process to qualify for Florida residency for tuition purposes or for the Alabama tuition differential.
Residency for Tuition Purposes
University Admissions determines the residency status for tuition purposes for:
- Newly admitted students.
- Former UWF students returning after three consecutive semesters of nonattendance.
Residency guidelines are outlined in detail in the Undergraduate Catalog and Graduate Catalog. In making determinations for residency classification for tuition purposes, UWF must adhere to:
