A properly completed FSCJ Residency Affidavit clarifies tuition eligibility, reduces processing delays, and documents the facts needed for residency classification appeals or audits. It provides an official, signed record the college can rely on when determining in-state status under institutional policy and state law.
Student applicants, continuing students, and residency staff use the FSCJ Residency Affidavit to document residence facts for tuition classification.
A student signing the FSCJ Residency Affidavit must enter legal name, current address, and dates of residence. Provide matching proofs such as driver's license, voter registration, or lease to avoid delays and possible reclassification.
Registrar or residency officer reviews affidavits against institutional policy and Florida residency rules, requests clarifying documents when necessary, records decisions, and maintains documentation for audit, appeal, or state reporting requirements.

A single, concise sworn statement describing the claimant’s residential facts, including when they established residence, primary address, and any supporting circumstances that demonstrate intent to remain in the state for domicile purposes.
Provide exact move-in and residency dates using MM/DD/YYYY format. Dates anchor classification periods and affect whether exemptions or in-state status apply for a given academic term.
List the full physical street address; include unit numbers when applicable. Avoid P.O. boxes as primary residence, and explain any temporary arrangements such as shared housing or campus residency.
Attach dated evidentiary items that match the affidavit: state ID, voter registration, lease agreement, utility bills, or employment records. Ensure documents are current and legible to prevent verification delays.
All parties must sign and print names where indicated. If a notary is required by FSCJ or state rules, sign in front of the notary and obtain proper acknowledgement or stamp.
State the governing jurisdiction for disputes; for FSCJ filings, Florida law typically governs residency interpretation and appeals, so reference institutional policy alongside applicable statutes and administrative procedures.
A student provided a notarized FSCJ Residency Affidavit, a current lease dated six months earlier, and a Florida driver's license showing the same address.
An applicant submitted an affidavit but included only a P.O. box and an expired ID, causing staff to question the claimed residential facts and request supplemental documentation.
