Residency for Tuition Purposes
The deadline for applying for a change in residency status, including receipt of all documentation, is each term's fee payment deadline. Residency reclassification cannot be applied for retroactively for previous terms.
All Florida public institutions of higher education shall maintain consistent policies and practices for the classification of students as residents for tuition purposes to facilitate the transfer of students among institutions. The policies and practices may vary to accommodate differences in governance, but the determination of classification shall be consistent to assure students of being classified the same regardless of the institution determining the classification, as long as no contradictory evidence indicates the classification is incorrect.
Applicants to the university can also consult the
residency information on the Admissions website.
Current UF students can also
consult the residency information on the Registrar Services website.
