Anyone know how residency works for public schools (college)?

Every state is different, hope this helps:\n\nStudents who reside in Michigan and intend to keep their permanent home in Michigan, not only while in attendance at the University but indefinitely thereafter as well, are considered domiciled in Michigan. If a student moves from Michigan during the period of enrollment, his/her in-state classification is maintained as long as enrollment is continued. If the family of a dependent student moves from Michigan during the time he/she is a student, his/her in-state classification is maintained as long as he/she continues to be enrolled on a regular school-year basis. Since normally students come to the state for the primary or sole purpose of attending the University rather than to establish a domicile in Michigan, those who enroll as nonresidents shall continue to be so classified throughout their attendance as students, unless and until they demonstrate that their previous domicile has been abandoned and a Michigan domicile established.\nA married person is considered to be an individual independent of his/her spouse.\n\nILLINOIS:\nhttp://www.usp.uillinois.edu/residency/residentreg.html\n\n\nGood luck!

That is going to depend on whether or not you have any domicile in the US and whether or not your assets are here or where you are now. There are certain residence requirements for the district you would be filing in. If you are in the military that's different. If you are merely visiting or studying abroad, it is perceived differently than a permanent residence away from the U.S.\n\nCheck with an attorney in the district where you are from.

Well, are you still considered a resident of Lousiana?  Do you still have a permanent residence in the state?  I think that would make the difference.  Also, I think you have to stay in a separate state for about...5 or 6 years before you are made a resident of THAT state.  \nLook up the Lousiana College board, and you may get a better answer than the one from me. \nGood luck, and hope all goes well.

Usually, the teaching hospitals will pick the residents that have finished their school portion. It is like you are able to scout around in the fields you are interested, as if job hunting, then those that are interested in you will offer a spot. Good luck!

Becuase most of the public state universities _have_ to take students from that state, provided that they make some sort of minimum requirement, usually some form of combined GPA and SAT.  Now GPA's from high schools can range from "informative" to "absolutely worthless" with regards to what they say about the student who got them.  Basically they have to admit a lot of students, who to put it bluntly, have no business being at an institude of higher learning in the first place.\n\nReally, the universities don't have "weed-out" the students, as the student's tend to "weed-out" themselves.

Just call the local school or school district--they register students all the time!\nGenerally you need a birth certificate, proof of vaccination, proof of residence (signed lease, water bill, etc.), if a divorce, probably proof of custody, but this probably differs not only from state to state, but from school district to school district.

My husband is a third year med student in the US.  He'll go through a total of four years as a student.  (Split in half, two years in classroom, two years doing clinical rotations with preceptors.)  Then he'll do an intern year followed by a 3 year long residency.  He's going into IM and Peds.  Other specialities have differing residency lengths.  A board certified residency is required for licensing in the US, along with passing the USMLE exams along the way.  \n\nIs this similar to the education for docs in the UK?\n\nIf it's similar, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  In all, it's at least 8 years worth of post-graduate schooling/training.  That's adequate for a family care doc.  Surgeons in the US have longer residencies.  I'd imagine it would be the same in the UK, too. \n\nBut please, correct me if I'm wrong.  It's certainly happened before!

I don't know how it works for different states. But for here, (and I hope this helps some) it takes a lot to change schools much less districts. To change schools and commute to a school some miles away from your current school is one thing because you can just get a boundary exemption. But to change districts is something much more difficult because that's a different set of rules and regulations you must follow. It's a pretty long grueling process that may take days even weeks. But if you do decide to do it, I hope it works out for the better.\nGood luck!\n\nSarah

I think it depends on where you live (the state).  You have to go through some state process.

you'll have to go to the local public school and you'll need to submit copies of their social security cards, immunizations, there are others i'm sure. the school will tell you everything you'll need to have. the grade level will most likely be determined by both age and what grade they were in in they home country.

Sorta kinda, but it's not that simple.\n\nI think (although I am not certain) that the state gives a lump sum to the college no matter how many in-state or out-of-state students they have.  At a public school, tuition (and fees) only cover a fairly small percentage of the school's entire operating budget (25% maybe, depending on the school).\n\nSometimes you can get reduced tuition at at state school in a neighboring state if they offer a program that your own state schools don't.  I know the states in New England do this.  I'm not sure if any money is exhanged, though - I think it's more of an agreement of "you take 100 of mine, I'll take 100 of yours, and we'll call it even".\n\nBut I just teach at a state college, I don't run the finances!

To establish residency? At least 6 months. If you've lived here for less than 6 months you might have to pay out of state tuition fee rates.\nHope this helps. Good luck!

Are you a medical student? Are you a foreign grad attempting to get a residency in the United States? Have you taken all 3 Steps? I don't understand your question.

Each school is likely to have a different process for this. Maybe you should ask them?

Your interpretation is completely incorrect. ONLY non-residents who are waived the non-resident tuition because they graduated from a CA high school and went to a CA high school for at least 3 years would be eligibile. In order to qualify for this, you must be a citizen, a legal resident, or have applied for legal residence.\n\nEdit: The law you're talking about, as it says right at the beginning, only applies to people who qualify for resident tuition under AB540... read the law before you comment on it.\n\nEdit 2 to DAR: If you look at AB540 itself, to qualify under it, you must at least have applied for lawful status.\n\nEdit 3: As for the annual costs, not all the people who qualify would be illegal aliens. Many (if not most) would be citizens and permanent residents, while the rest would have their legal status pending.

you have to contact the education board in your state of residency and see if your accrediation transfers if so then you will have to take the appropriate test to certify you here in the states.

There are universities that practice what they call "Open Enrollment", which basically means they'll take anyone who graduated.  In most states, though, you will need to focus on community (2-year) colleges as a way to start out, and then transfer to a bigger school after you've proven you can do ok in college.  I don't think 1.89 is going to impress anyone, but you can still succeed if you make an effort.
