Hello,

I was wondering if there is a list of pharmacy schools that allow students to change state residency status after one year (or more or less). This would allow the student pay in-state tuition instead of out-of-state.

If no such exists, maybe we can use this thread to compile this information? Thank you.

I don't think it is something that the schools control. I think it goes state by state. Some states have residency changes after one year some not till 3 years. I'm not sure but I think that's how it works.

Thanks CamRx. That is useful to know.

Assuming you are correct, then Arizona and California require residence in the state for 12 months. I suppose this means that in order to qualify for in-state tuition for the second year, you need to be living in these respective states for a full year prior to the start of the term.

Your state residency is determined by where you pay taxes, register your car, etc., isn't it? I don't think you can go to a school for a year and then say "Hey, I'm a resident here!" after that. I've gone through this when I've taken some online classes. I'm a military spouse and my husband is stationed in Missouri. However, we still pay North Carolina state taxes--not Missouri state taxes. We're registered to vote in NC. My car is registered in NC. So, I would get in-state tuition in NC. Other states may be different but I know in NC it requires more than for you to physically reside in the state for a year.

Yea some states you can do just that. You'll have to change your driver license and plates. Mailing address phone number maybe and bank account address etc..

However other states like Minnesota doesn't allow that.

This is extremely unfortunate... It's such a good program! 🙁

🙁 Do you know if it counts if you buy a property in the area? A cheap condo perhaps? A far stretch... LOL ;x

I highly doubt it. I read up a lot about costs of tuition for several schools, including Minnesota, and they seem really strict about granting in-state status. Also, the purchase of properties would have to take place a set period of time prior to matriculation for it to count. Maybe if you pay a lawyer who specializes in these things, s/he might be able to find some legal loopholes. But then again, that doesn't guarantee that the school will settle for it. 🙁

Oh, no! I actually like it here! 🙂 But, we came from Ft. Polk and that was the worst place I've ever been. My husband would have gone anywhere to get out of there.

Yeah, I don't think so. You have to live in Minnesota for a year and not be taking any kind of classes, then you may be considered a resident. Give, you change your licenses, perm address, bank accounts, pay taxes etc...
