Residency Affidavit and Deadlines

All applicants are required to complete a Florida Residency affidavit or statement as part of the common application (see F.S. 1009.21). This affidavit or statement is issued to verify Florida residency for the purpose of assessing the tuition and fee rate that will apply to any credit courses taken by the student. Applicants who are less than 24 years of age, for example, must have the residency affidavit completed and signed by their parent or legal guardian. Applicants who are not able to provide the required documentation will be admitted and can enroll, but will be billed at the out-of-state tuition rate. Residency status must be confirmed before the end of the first week of classes during the full academic term. Residency changes after the first week (following the drop/add period at the beginning of the term) will apply to the next academic term.
