Moving and in state tuition?

[Anonymous]

If you are under age 24 on the first day of classes, an institution will classify you as a dependent student unless you: are married; are a veteran or active-duty member of the U.S. armed forces; are a graduate or first-professional student; are a ward of the court or were a ward of the court until age 18; have no adoptive or legal guardian when both parents are deceased;or have legal dependents other than a spouse. If a student under the age of 24 who wishes to be considered independent but does not meet one of these exceptions, then he must be able to demonstrate, via clear and convincing evidence to the institution, that his parents have surrendered the right to his care, custody, and earnings, do not claim him as a dependent on federal or state income tax returns, and have ceased to provide him substantial financial support.

Good grief people. It says right in the text that graduate students are not considered dependents.

Residency for graduate students is defined as where the student (applicant) lives, not the parents.

I was able to get instate tuition 10 years ago in VA as a law student. I had to show that no one was claiming me as a dependent, I had a VA license, lease, utilities bills, etc. I was 23 at the time.
