Fscj Requirements PDF Details

Embarking on the journey of higher education involves navigating through various forms and requirements, among which the FSCJ Requirements Form plays a critical role for students seeking admission to Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ). This comprehensive form encapsulates several criteria pivotal for establishing Florida residency for tuition purposes, ensuring that students are charged the appropriate fees based on their residency status. Key aspects covered by the form include immigration status, where evidence of eligible legal immigration status in the U.S. must be provided for non-U.S. citizens to be considered for Florida resident fees. Dependency status also significantly influences the documentation required, identifying whether the student's or their parent(s)/guardian(s) residency documentation will be utilized. The form meticulously outlines the criteria and documentation needed for independent status, ranging from age to various personal circumstances such as marriage, having dependents, veteran status, and more. Documentation of residency is another crucial area addressed, requiring students to provide evidence of having lived in Florida for at least 12 months prior to enrollment, with specific documents outlined to prove this residency. The form not only details the prerequisites for claiming Florida residency but also specifies a range of documents accepted (and not accepted) for this purpose, thereby guiding applicants through the process of substantiating their residency claim for tuition purposes. Additionally, the form touches on the importance of equal access to education and nondiscrimination, underscoring FSCJ's commitment to providing an inclusive educational environment.

Residency Statement/Affidavit

Factors Affecting Florida Residency for Tuition Purposes: (No single piece of documentation will be considered conclusive.)

1.Immigration Status- Non-U.S. citizen applicants and/or parents must provide evidence of eligible legal immigration status in the U.S. before being considered for Florida resident fees. Please review www.flvc.org (Residency Guidelines) for more specific information on non-U.S. citizen categories that are eligible to be considered for in-state fees. International (F-1) applicants are NOT ELIGIBLE for Florida tuition rates.

2.Dependency Status- The determination of dependent or independent status is important because it is the basis for whether an applicant will submit his/her own documentation of residency (as an independent) or his/her parent(s) or guardian(s) documentation of residency (as a dependent). Applicants under 24 are automatically considered “dependent” unless they can prove otherwise. Applicants age 24 and over will automatically be considered independent. Additional documents such as tax returns and birth certificates may be requested to verify independent/dependent status.
