Residency Reclassification
A student who is classified as a nonresident for tuition purposes may request to be reclassified as a Florida resident for tuition purposes.
Residency Reclassification Information
In accordance with S1009.21 Florida Statutes and the Board of Governors Residency Regulation, the Office of the Registrar is required to adhere to specific procedures in making determinations for residency reclassification for students who were initially classified as non-Florida.
The burden of proof is on the applicant to present clear and convincing documentation that supports permanent legal residency in this state for at least 12 months, rather than temporary residency for the purpose of pursuing an education.

FAQ
Forms are due one week (seven calendar days) before the first day of classes for the semester in which you seek reclassification.
Residency reclassification requests and any supporting documentation should be submitted no earlier than two months before the start of the semester in which you request reclassification. Because a person's situation may change at any time, this two-month window is critical. Any documents submitted too early will be returned, and re-submission at a later time will be required.
