A "resident for tuition purposes" is a person who qualifies for the in-state tuition rate; a "nonresident for tuition purposes" is a person who does not qualify forthe in- state tuition rate. (a) To be classified as a "resident for tuition purposes," a person, or, if a dependent child, the child's parent or parents or legal guardian, shall have established legal residence in Florida and shall have maintained physical presence in Florida for at least twelve (12) months immedi- ately prior to the first day of classes of the term for which Florida residency is sought. A dependent child is a person who may be claimed by his or her parent or guardian as a dependent under the Federal Income Tax Code. Every applicant for admission to a university shall be required to make a statement as to the length of residence in the state and, shall also establish his or her presence, or, if a dependent child, the presence of his or her parent or parents, in the state for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide domicile in accordance with the provisions of Section 240.1201 (2)(b), Florida Statutes. (b) With respect to a dependent child, the legal resi- denceof such individual's parentor guardian shall be prima facie evidence of the individual's legal residence in accor- dance with the provisions of Section 240.1201(4), Florida Statutes. Prima facie evidence may be reinforced or rebut- ted by evidence of residency, age, and the general circum- stances of the individual in accordance with the provisions of Rule 6C-7.005(2).

(e) No person shall lose his or her resident status for tuition purposes solely by reason of serving, or, if a depen- dent child, by reason of the parentor parents serving, in the Armed Forces outside this state. (f) A person who has been properly classified as a resident for tuition purposes, but who, while enrolled in an institution of higher education in this state, loses resident tuition status because the person, or, if a dependent child, the parent or guardian, establishes domicile or legal resi- dence elsewhere, shall continue to enjoythe in-state tuition rate for a statutory grace period. This grace period shall be measured in accordance with the provisions of Section 240.1201(8), Florida Statutes. (g) The legal residence of a dependent child whose parents are divorced, separated, or otherwise living apart shall be deemed to be Florida if either parent is a legal resident of Florida, regardless of which parent is entitled to claim, and does in fact claim, the minor as a dependent pursuant to federal individual income tax provisions. (h) Any person who ceases to be enrolled at or gradu- ates from an institution of higher education while classified as a resident for tuition purposes and who subsequently abandons Florida domicile shall be permitted to reenroll at an institution of higher education in this state as a resident for tuition purposes in accordance with the provisions of Section 240.1201(10), Florida Statutes.

(j) Full-time instructional and administrative personnel employed by state public schools, community colleges, and institutions of higher education, and the spouses and dependent children of such individuals, shall be classified as residents for tuition purposes. (2) An individual shall not be classified as a resident for tuition purposes and, thus, shall not be eligible to receive the in-state tuition rate, until the individual has provided satisfactory evidence as to his or her legal residence and domicile to appropriate university officials. In determining residence, the university shall require evidence such as a voter registration, driver's license, automobile registration, location of bank account, rent receipts or any other relevant materials as evidence that the applicant has maintained 12 months' residence immediately prior to qualification. To determine if the student is a dependent child, the university shall require evidence such as copies of the aforementioned documents. In addition, the university may require a copy of the parent's IRS return. If a nonresident wishes to qualify for resident tuition status in accordance with Section (1)(d) above, the applicant must present evidence of the spouse's legal residence with certified copies of the aforementioned documents.
