20 / GENERAL INFORMATION


 sidered as Resident Aliens, provided such students
 meet the residency requirement stated above and
 comply with subsection (2) below. The burden of
 establishing facts which justify classification of a stu-
 dent as a resident and domiciliary entitled to
 "Florida student" registration rates is on the appli-
 cant for such classification.
 (b) In the application of this policy,
 1. "Student" shall mean a person admitted to or
 a person allowed to register at the institution on
 a space available basis.
 2. "Minor" shall mean a person who has not
 attained the age of 18 years and whose disabilities
 of minority have not been removed by reason of
 marriage or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 3. "Domicile" for fee paying purposes shall
 denote a person's true, fixed, and permanent
 home and place of habitation. It is the place
 where the applicant lives and remains and to
 which he expects to return when he leaves,
 without intent to establish domicile elsewhere.
 4. "Parent" shall mean a minor's father or
 mother, or if one parent has custody of a minor
 applicant, it is the parent having court assigned
 financial responsibility for the education of the stu-
 dent; or if there is a court appointed guardian or
 legal custodian of the minor applicant, it shall
 mean the guardian or legal custodian.
 5. The term "dependent student" as used in this
 rule is the same as a dependent as defined in sec-
 tions 151(e)(1)(2)(3) and (4) of the Internal
 Revenue Code of 1954. A copy of these provisions
 in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 is incor-
 porated in this rule by reference.
 .6. A "non-Florida" student is a person not
 meeting the requirements of subsection (a) above.
(2) In all applications for admission or registration at
the institution on a space available basis, a Florida
applicant or the parent or legal guardian of a minor
applicant shall make and file with such application a
written statement, under oath, that the applicant is a
bonafide citizen, resident, and domiciliary of the state
of Florida, entitled as such to classification as a "Florida
student" under the terms and conditions prescribed
for citizens, residents, and domiciliaries of the state
of Florida. All claims to "Florida student" classifica-
tion must be supported by evidence as stated in
6C-7.05(1) if requested by the registering authority.
(3) A "non-Florida student" or, if a minor, his parent
or guardian, after having been a resident and
domiciliary of Florida for twelve (12) consecutive
months, may apply for and be granted reclassification
prior to the first day of classes of any subsequent term,
provided, however, that those students who are
nonresident aliens or who are in the United States on
a non-immigration visa will not be entitled to
reclassification. An application for reclassification as
a "Florida student" shall comply with provisions of
subsection (2) above. An applicant who has been
classified as a "non-Florida" student at time of original
enrollment shall furnish evidence as stated in
6C-7.05(1) to the satisfaction of the registering authority
that the applicant has maintained continuous residency
in the state for the twelve months required to establish
residence for tuition purposes. In the absence of such
evidence, the applicant shall not be reclassified as a
"Florida student." In addition, the application for
reclassification must be accompanied by a certified
copy of a declaration of intent to establish legal


domicile in the state, which intent must have been filed
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, as provided by Sec-
tion 222.17, Florida Statutes. If the request for
reclassification and the necessary documentation are
not received by the registrar prior to the last day of
registration for the term in which the student intends
to be reclassified, the student will not be reclassified
for that term.
(4) Unless evidence to the contrary appears, it shall
be presumed by the registering authority of the institu-
tion at which a student is registering that
 (a) The spouse of any person who is classified or is
 eligible for classification as aa "Florida student" is
 likewise entitled to classification as a "Florida stu-
 dent." This provision will not apply in the case of
 students who are nonresident aliens or who are in
 the United States on a non-immigration visa.
 (b) If an applicant's eligibility for classification as a
 "Florida student" is based on the residency of the
 spouse, the spouse shall make and file with the
 application a written statement under oath, that said
 person is the spouse of the applicant and a bonafide
 citizen, resident and domiciliary of the state of
 Florida, entitled as such to classification as a "Florida
 student."
 (c) No person over the age of 18,years shall be
 deemed to have gained residence while attending
 any educational institution in this state as a full-time
 student, as such status is defined by the Board of
 Regents, in the absence of a clear demonstration that
 he has established domicile and residency in the
 state, as provided under subsection (3) above.
 (d) Any "Florida student" who remains in the state,
 after his parent previously domiciled in Florida or
 stationed in Florida on military orders removes from
 this state, shall be entitled to remain classified as a
 "Florida student" so long as his or her attendance
 at a school or schools in Florida shall be deemed
 "continuous." However, such student claiming con-
 tinuous attendance must have been enrolled at a
 school, college or university for a normal academic
 year in each calendar year, or the appropriate por-
 tion or portions thereof, from the beginning of the
 period for which continuous attendance is claimed.
 Such a student need not attend summer sessions or
 other such intersession beyond the normal academic
 year in order to render his attendance "continuous."
 (5) Appeal from a determination denyng Florida stu-
 dent status to any applicant therefore may be initiated
 after appropriate administrative remedies are ex-
 hausted by the filing of a petition for review pursuant
 to Section 120.68 F.S. in the District Court of Appeal
 in the appellate district in which the institution main-
 tains its headquarters or where a party resides.
 (6) Any student granted status as a "Florida student"
 which status is based on a sworn statement which is
 false shall, upon determination of such falsity, be sub-
 ject to such disciplinary sanctions as may be imposed
 by the president of the university.
 (7) Special Categories-The following categories shall
 be treated as Florida residents for tuition purposes if
 adequate documentation is provided:
 (a) A member of the Armed Services of the United
 States who is stationed in Florida on active duty pur-
 suant to military orders, the spouse and dependent
 students.
 (b) A veteran of the Armed Forces of the United
 States of America with twenty (20) or more years of

 dependent students of such veteran's immediate
