26 /GENERAL INFORMATION gration and Naturalization Service, or who hold an Immi- gration and Naturalization Form 1-151, 1-551 or a notice of an approved adjustment of status application, or Cuban Nationals or Vietnamese Refugees or other refugees or asylees so designated by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service who are considered as Resident Aliens, or other legal aliens, provided such students meet the residency requirements stated above and comply with subsection (4) below. The burden of establishing facts which justify classification of a student as a resident and domiciliary entitled to "resident for tuition purposes" regis- tration rates is on the applicant for such classification. (3) In applying this policy, (a) "Student" shall mean a person admitted to the institution, or a person allowed to register at the institution on a space available basis. (b) "Domicile" shall denote a person's true, fixed, and permanent home, and to which whenever the person is absent the person has the intention of returning. (c) "Parent" shall mean an individual's father or mother, or if there is a court appointed guardian or legal custodian of the individual, other than the father or mother, it shall mean the guardian or legal custodian. (d) The term "dependent child" as used in this rule, is the same as a dependent as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. (4) In all applications for admission or registration at the institution on a space available basis a "resident for tuition purposes" applicant, or, if a dependent child, the parent of the applicant, shall make and file with such application a written statement that the applicant is a bona fide resident and domiciliary of the state of Florida, entitled as such to classification as a "resident for tuition purposes" under the terms and conditions prescribed for residents and domiciliaries of the state of Florida. All claims to "resident for tuition purposes" classification must be supported by evidence as stated in 6C- 7.005(1), (2) if requested by the registering authority. (5) A"nonresident"or, ifadependentchild, the individual's parent, after maintaining a legal residence and being a bona fide domiciliary of Florida for twelve (12) months, immedi- ately prior to enrollment and qualification as a resident, ratherthan forthe purpose of maintaining a meretemporary residence or abode incident to enrollment in an institution of higher education, may apply for and be granted classifi- cation as a "resident for tuition purposes"; provided, how- ever, that those students who are nonresident aliens or who are in the United States on a nonimmigration visa will not be entitled to reclassification. An application for reclassifi- cation as a "resident for tuition purposes" shall comply with provisions of subsection (4) above. An applicant who has been classified as a "nonresident for tuition purposes" at time of original enrollment shall furnish evidence as stated in 6C-7.005(1) to the satisfaction of the registering authority that the applicant has maintained residency in the state for the twelve months immediately prior to qualification re- quired to establish residence for tuition purposes. In the absence of such evidence, the applicant shall not be reclassified as a "resident for tuition purposes." It is recom- mended that the application for reclassification be accom- panied 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 Section 222.17, Florida Statutes. If the request for reclassification and the necessary documentation is 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. (6) Appeal from a determination denying "resident for tuition purposes" status to applicant therefore may be initi- ated after appropriate administrative remedies are exhausted by the filing of a petition for review pursuant to Section 120.68 Florida Statutes. (7) Any student granted status as a "resident for tuition purposes," which status is based on a sworn statement which is false shall, upon determination of such falsity, be subjectto such disciplinary sanctions as may be imposed by the president of the university.
