Summary


This amendment rule adds the requirement that each student submit a Florida Residency Declaration, Form FRD-1, in addition to the documentation required by the institution to determine residency. Verification of whether a student is a dependent child as defined by section 1009.21(1)(a), F.S., will be satisfied when a parent declares on the Florida Residency Declaration that the student is eligible to be claimed as a dependent by the parent under the federal income tax code. The federal immigration statuses that qualify a non-United States Citizen to establish residency for tuition purposes are specified. The proposed rule clarifies the reclassification of residency status and classification as a resident for tuition purposes, in accordance with section 1009.21(2)(d), F.S.
