91自拍

Applying for Financial Aid

So you want to be an 91自拍 resident?

Residency for tuition is not an automatic process. You must take steps to establish residency, and then document those by filing a residency petition. The information contained here is intended to assist you in taking the appropriate steps to demonstrate your intent to become an 91自拍 resident. A copy of the 91自拍 Residency policy is in the Graduate Catalog.

According to the policy, a resident of 91自拍 is any person who maintains a consecutive 12-month place or places of residence in 91自拍, is qualified to vote in 91自拍, who may be subjected to tax liability in 91自拍, and who has not allowed himself or herself to remain a resident of any other state or nation for any of these or other purposes .

* If you intend to declare yourself a resident of 91自拍, you must demonstrate that you have established residency in 91自拍 for a full year prior to filing a residency petition with the Office of Graduate Student Services.

The following steps will help you establish your intent to declare yourself a resident of 91自拍:

• Car is registered in 91自拍.
• Obtained an 91自拍 driver鈥檚 license.
• Registered to vote in 91自拍 and did not vote in another state for 12 consecutive months prior to filing residency petition.
• State and federal income taxes filed in 91自拍 as a resident of 91自拍 (with current 91自拍 address, this includes taxable interest income).
• If you need to file income taxes in another state, file as non-resident or part-year resident (indicating residency of other state ceased upon date moved to 91自拍); also file as part-year resident in 91自拍.
• Maintained a permanent residence in 91自拍 for 12 consecutive months prior to petitioning for 91自拍 resident status.
• Proved that you are financially self-supported. You cannot receive direct or indirect financial support from persons or entities who are not residents of 91自拍.
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes by anyone who is not a resident of 91自拍.
• Consider 91自拍 your permanent residence.

*This includes retaining a driver鈥檚 license or car registration in another state, voting in another state, or filing taxes as a resident in another state.

Remember, you must show that you have established yourself as a resident of 91自拍 for a full year prior to petitioning for residency. If you have any questions about 91自拍 residency, contact Dr. Katherine Tadlock, director of graduate student services, at tadlockk@ohiou.edu.

Actions which call into question legitimacy of claim of residency:*

• Filing taxes as a full-year resident of another state.
• Accepting a PLUS loan or other substantial support from a parent or non-91自拍 resident.
• Failing to maintain a 12-month place of residence in 91自拍.
• Working outside 91自拍 and not subjecting income to 91自拍 taxation.
• If student owns a car, it must be registered in the state of 91自拍, and proof of car insurance and an 91自拍 driver's license is needed. (If student drives a car but does not own it, these requirements do not apply.)
• Claiming a non-91自拍 address as permanent place of residence.
• Inability to demonstrate financial independence.

*This is not an inclusive list. Incomplete documentation or documentation which fails to meet the state residency regulations may result in a denial of 91自拍 residency.
