Independent Students

An independent student meets the Georgia residency requirements if he or she has established and maintained domicile in the State of Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes of the school term for which the student is seeking in-state tuition.

  • It is presumed that no independent student shall have gained or acquired Georgia residency while attending a TCSG college without clear evidence of having established a domicile in the State of Georgia for purposes other than attending a TCSG college.
