Residence Requirements

To establish residency, twenty-four semester hours of credit must be completed during any 12-month period prior to the Preliminary Examination. Residency requirements are checked for compliance by the Dean's office at two points:

1. in the planned program of studies submitted by the student and
   
2. when certifying completion of requirements prior to graduation.

To qualify for in-state tuition if you are a U.S. citizen, apply for Florida residency after you have established and maintained legal residence in the state of Florida.
