How do you gain in state residency in the state of Alabama?|145316

I am an out of state student attending college in Alabama next year and was wondering how to gain residency...I ve researched all of the requirements but there are no guarantees. Does anybody know how?...Or has anyone actually done it before?

Thanks

It really depends on which college you are attending as they all seem to decide residency status on their own. It looks like your biggest obstacle is establishing intent. If you are residing in Alabama for the sole purpose of going to college, then you will not be considered a resident. Some of the requirements I_ve seen include:

_A student must be a citizen of the United States, prove full-time employment within the state of Alabama, provide evidence of having filed an Alabama tax return as a resident of the state of Alabama, and prove continuous residence in the state for a purpose other than attending school._

_Residence in Alabama is residing at a single location with the intent of remaining there indefinitely, as opposed to living in Alabama solely to obtain an education._

_To become a resident of Alabama for tuition purposes, three requirements must be met:
1.Twelve Months Continuous Physical Presence
2.More substantial connections with the state of Alabama than with any other state.
3.Intent to Establish a Domicile for purposes other than that of a student residence _

Unless it has changed, it was 30 days residency, application for a car license, or employment withing the state
