[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a few years out from applying so I am trying to figure out generally what the rules are for residency. That's a good idea to call some of the schools. I was just hoping to find some general rules for residency here.[/quote]

Again, is your Google broken?

Literally the first thing that comes up: https://www.vt.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/residency/eligibility-for-virginia-in-state-tuition-privileges.html[/quote]

Clear and convincing evidence that: Virginia is your domicile AND that all prior domiciles have been abandoned.

You can have ONE and only one domicile. Where you live, have a drivers license, register a car, register to vote, pay local and state taxes, etc. This is not something you can fake and is not something that can be proven to this standard by simply owning or renting a house for a short amount of time.

So if your kid really is several years from applying to college, and you want to get in state in Virginia, you have to actually live here full time so move now. My kid is in 12th now, and on all her Virginia public applications there are separate portals for establishing in state with very specific questions and they make it very clear that it’s residency fraud to lie and that the school will check. Virginia is very serious about this. [/quote]

What if you live in Virginia, your kid was born and raised and goes to school in Virginia, and then you travel to New York for a six-week trial? What if it’s an 18 month construction project? A seasonal job that takes you out of state for six months every year for ten years?

Does Virginia really tell all these people they’re SOL and then prosecute them for residency fraud? Even though, again, in these examples the kids were born and raised in Virginia and have never lived anywhere else, and the parent has never permanently relocated to any other place?[/quote]
