Students must be able to provide appropriate residency documentation Verification of lawful presence requirement applies to any student requesting to be classified as “in-state” and any student applying to: Georgia College & State University Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Regents University Georgia State University University of Georgia Note: Institutions may have additional requirements. Residency O.C.G.A. 20-3-66 Students under the age of 24 are eligible to be classified as in-state if their parent has established and maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term and: • The student has graduated (or will graduate) from a Georgia high school; or, • The parent claimed the student as a dependent on the parent’s most recent federal or state income tax return. Students may also be classified as in-state based on their U.S. court-appointed legal guardian provided that guardian has established and maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term and the guardianship was not appointed to avoid the payment of out-of-state tuition. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, & other eligible noncitizens as defined by federal Title IV regulations may be extended the same consideration as U.S. citizens in determining whether they qualify for in-state classification. The Federal Student Aid Handbook published by the U.S. Department of Education defines those categories of non-citizens considered “other eligible noncitizens”.
