Florida people GTFIH (Valencia college)
So yesterday I went to apply to the Osceola campus of Valencia. I explained my situation to this very nice lady. She explained that, I would have to classify as independent to be able to apply, because of my parents being undocumented. And that I would have to pay out of state tuition, until I was legally here for 1 year.
She asked me what was my status and I showed her my EAD. She saw the c33 classification, and said that the international student services would know something about that. There was no international service center at the Osceola campus so I had to go to the West campus. Today I went to the West campus, and another lady explained that I could apply for instate tuition, and that the Osceola campus is misinformed. She asked for my EAD, and the I-821 letter. She then said, that I would need residence proof. The ones that I had were:
You need at least 2 things, it doesn't matter from which tier. you can find the rest here http://valenciacollege.edu/admission...nttuition3.pdf Also she said that Valencia accepts undocumented students (those with no DACA). They have to pay out of state though. She said that the Osceola campus is misinformed,:-P and that you should apply to the West campus. |

Cool man, thanks for the heads up. I havent been approved yet, however I dont have any bills under my name, and I graduated high school in 2008, how could I prove my residence? I also do not have a bank account.

Thanks SOOOO much for a post like this. Can you explain how you explained everything to the people in Valencia? I'll be going to college next semester (graduated HS last year) & I am so clueless on college & how I'm gonna explain everything to them..

No problem lol. And I was in a similar situation last fall. I got denied at the osceola campus of valencia, and at the time i didn't know that I could apply to west Valencia. so I had to go to Polk State which was like 40 minutes away, and had to pay out of state. Well anyway apply online right now, hopefully you have your SSN by now because it is required on the application. once they mail you the approval of your application(2-5 days). Then you can either print the residence application, or ask for a copy at any campus. Since you are just graduating high school, that counts as one of the qualifications. The others you can find in the op. Remember you need at least 2. Then you can go to the West campus, go to room 146 in the SSB and talk to one of the counselors there. Remember to bring your EAD, and your DACA letter. With all that done you will be able to qualify for instate tution, Good luck :-). |
