A dependent student must have a parent/guardian who has been domiciled in Idaho for 12 months
To establish Idaho residency for tuition purposes, there are two components: Pathway and Domicile. To qualify as an Idaho resident for tuition purposes, applicants must meet all conditions for the selected pathway and then meet all domicile requirements, if specified by the selected pathway.
A dependent student must have a parent or guardian who has been domiciled in Idaho for 12 months prior to the term the student is applying for residency. The parent or guardian must demonstrate maintenance of a bona fide domicile in Idaho for at least 12 months. A "bona fide domicile" is a legal term used to describe an individual's permanent home, i.e., the place where the person intends to remain and expects to return to if visiting elsewhere for short periods of time (less than 30 days).
If a parent or guardian of a dependent student is in the armed forces, they must have entered the service as an Idaho resident and maintained their Idaho resident status, even if they are stationed outside of Idaho on military orders. If a parent or guardian is a member of the Armed Forces stationed in Idaho on military orders, or an officer or enlisted member of the Idaho National Guard, their dependent student may qualify for Idaho residency.
To prove that a dependent student's parent or guardian is domiciled in Idaho, the student must provide proof that they are financially dependent on their parent(s) or legal guardian(s). This can be done by providing a copy of their latest Idaho tax form listing them as a dependent. If the student is not listed as a dependent on their parent(s) or guardian(s)'s Idaho income tax form but believes that they receive at least 50% of their financial support from them, they should contact the Office of the Registrar for further information.
Any documentation provided as proof of residency (except for an Idaho tax return) must have been issued at least 12 months ago. This includes an Idaho driver's license, Idaho Motor Vehicle Registration, Idaho Voter Registration, lease, tax statement, utility statements, and employment documentation.
