In-State Tuition Requirements for Select Immigrant Florida HS Graduates
If you are a Florida high school graduate unable to produce the documentation required for standard residency review because you are an undocumented student, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) student, or a student who is a US citizen with undocumented parents, you may be eligible for an out-of-state tuition fee waiver or Florida residency by providing different documentation. For more information, please email ugresidency@xuanyuzg.com or call 561-297-3040.
Please Note: Failure to finalize the initial classification process with Undergraduate Admissions, Graduate Admissions or Non-Degree prior to the last day of classes in your initial semester will result in you being responsible for out-of-state fees. You will also be required to undergo the reclassification process to receive Florida residency for tuition purposes in future semesters.
