My parents moved out of state while I was a senior in high school – can I still be considered a resident for tuition purposes?
If the student remains in the Commonwealth and graduates from a Pennsylvania high school, it may be possible to be considered a resident for tuition purposes, depending on the circumstances of the case. However, if the student relocates with the parents out of the state, and does not have 12 months of residency for non-educational reasons prior to enrollment at Penn State, the student would most likely be classified as a non-resident. There is no “banking” of prior time in the Commonwealth – the residency requirements relate to the 12 months preceding enrollment at the University.
