Question about in-state tuition classification?

Question

I'm petitioning for in-state tuition.

Are they going to send letters to the employers I've listed?

My application says that they reserve the right to "independently verify" information I provide them.

If anyone has any experience with petitioning for in-state tuition please fill me in.

Answer 1

The won't send out letters, but they will want to see things like an in-state drivers license, W2 forms from your job showing an in-state employer, tax receipts from your personal property taxes, etc.

In other words, they aren't going to do the work, they are going to tell you prove you're in-state.

Answer 2

I had to provide my car registration for the state I claimed to be a resident of, I had to provide voter's registration for the state I claimed to be a resident of, I had to provide a driver's license for the state I claimed to be a resident of and all of these documents had to be dated (date they were issued) 12 months prior to the first day of the semester to which I was applying. I also had to provide a letter from my employer indicating I had been employed by them in this state. I didn't own property in the state I am a resident of, I am a renter so I had no tax documents to give.
