   • Most current Tax Return or W2  

• 在某些情况下，除了规定的文件外，还可能要求提供其他文件. All documentation provided is subject to verification. 与其他州有联系的证据可能会导致因学费原因而拒绝在佛罗里达州居住.

If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, you will be classified as an independent student for the determination of residency for tuition purposes (documentation proving independent status will be required):

• 在你希望在FAU注册的学期的第一天，你是否年满24岁?
• 在学年开始的时候，你会攻读硕士或博士学位(比如硕士)吗, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc.)?
• As of today, are you married? ( Answer "yes" if you are separated but not divorced.)
• Do you have children who receive more than half of their support from you?
• 你是否有受抚养人(子女或配偶除外)与你同住，而他们的生活费有一半以上来自你?
• Are both of your parents deceased, or are you (or were you until age 18 ) a ward or dependent of the court or state?
• Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training?
• Do you provide a minimum of 51% of your own support? (Documents such as tax returns, W-2 forms, pay stubs, and employer earning verification will be required. Please see the Proving Financial Independence Section)

• 如果你觉得你有资格成为独立学生，因为你提供了至少51%的自己的支持, 你必须证明你是自给自足的(特别是那些24岁以下的人)。. Based on the Florida Resident (off-campus) cost of attendance, it will be determined whether the student meets the requirements for being considered financially independent for the purposes of establishing residency for tuition purposes. The 51% minimum is reviewed and updated no less than one year prior to the start of each Fall semester and remains in effect for the subsequent Spring and Summer semesters. KU体育人员将根据注册的学时数评估每个学生的独立资格, the number of full-time hours worked, federal income tax return information for the student and parent(s), student income, and other factors. 
• 为了让学生证明他们提供了至少51%的自己的支持, the following information below is required:  
• Proof of the student's declared income documents:  

申请人是提供在佛罗里达州建立永久合法居留权证据的人.

For independent students*, the claimant is the student. Documentation substantiating independent status will be required. (Please see the Proving Financial Independence Section )

For dependent students*, the claimant can be the student's parent, legal guardian (as appointed by the court, court decree required), spouse (marriage certificate required), or in rare cases, an adult relative. ( Please see the "Special Categories" section for more information)

*受抚养学生被推定为与其父母是同一州的合法居民。.

• Every student who wishes to be evaluated for Florida residency for tuition purposes must submit a residency affidavit and appropriate documentation through the Residency portal http://owlres.basilinfracon.com. This is done after your admissions application has been accepted and must be done every time a student is accepted under a new application. If a student does not submit the affidavit and supporting documentation for Florida residency for tuition purposes within his or her initial semester of attendance, the student will need to apply for residency reclassification. This will require the student to show clear and convincing documentation that supports permanent legal residency in Florida for at least 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the semester for which reclassification is being requested, rather than temporary residency for the purpose of pursuing an education. 重新分类需要比初始分类更多的文件，并且不能追溯应用. The basic requirements for initial classification will require the claimant to provide documentation proving both legal ties and physical presence in the state of Florida. Documents must be dated or have been issued at least 12 months before the first day of the semester for which Florida residency is sought. 索赔人必须证明在佛罗里达州有真实住所，并且与另一个州没有法律关系. No single document is conclusive.

• Documents showing legal ties to Florida: (at least 2 documents from this list)
  • Florida driver's license or State identification card
  • Florida voter's registration card
  • Florida vehicle registration
  • Florida vehicle title
  • Florida professional or occupational license
  • Proof active Florida corporation
  • Benefit histories from Florida agencies or Public assistance programs
• Documents showing physical presence in Florida:
  • Lease agreement
  • Twelve consecutive months of utility bills and proof of payments
  • Declaration of Domicile
  • 在佛罗里达州购买永久住宅的证明，并有宅地豁免
  • Proof of permanent full-time employment in Florida for at least 12 months

If you are denied classification as a Florida resident for tuition purposes, you may appeal the decision to the Residency Appeals Committee. Students should submit the residency appeal form found at http://bifpx.basilinfracon.com/registrar/documents/100589-residency-classification-appeal.pdf, along with a personal statement and any documents not previously submitted, to resappeals@basilinfracon.com. 一旦收到申诉，委员会将获得整个住院档案以供审查.

住院医师申诉委员会每月开会一次，审查所提出的申诉并作出决定. After the meeting, decision letters will be sent to students with appeals. The decision of the Committee will be the final decision of the University.

Please be aware that residency officers within the Undergraduate Admissions, Graduate Admissions, 注册办公室将无法向学生提供有关委员会决定的信息.
