RESIDENCY


and qualification as a resident, rather
than for the purpose of maintaining a
mere temporary residence of abode inci-
dent to enrollment in an institution for
higher education, may apply for and be
granted classification as a "resident for
tuition purposes," provided, however,
that those students who are nonresident
aliens or who are in the United States on
a nonimmigration visa will not be enti-
tled to reclassification. An application for
reclassification 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 stat-
ed 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 required to establish res-
 dence for tuition purposes. In the
 absence of such evidence, the applicant
 shall not be reclassified as a "resident for
 tuition purposes." It is recommended
 that the application for reclassification be
 accompanied by a certified copy of a dec-
 laration of intent to establish legal domi-
 cile 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 reclas-
 sification and the necessary documenta-
 tion is not received by the registrar prior
 to the last day of registration for the term
 in which the student intends to be reclas-
 sified, 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 initiated 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 subject to such disciplinary
 sanctions as may be imposed by the pres-
 ident of the university.
