I’m a little confused on the August Stayover.
- Are the dorms closed, except that a few are open for August Stayover?
- Is this option available for incoming Freshman?
Regardless, we’ll probably use the “Red Cart Storage” (mentioned in the link you sent) to store her stuff and then vacation as a family. However, it’s good to know that there is an August Stayover option.
I’m guessing if she is at home in NorCal during the summer of 2020 before she starts at UU, then arrives for either August Stayover or family vacation on about 8/4/2020, then she could get residency about 8/4/2021? If this works out, she might get a week in NorCal visiting high school friends before school starts up for her sophomore year, which she may like after spending her first summer in Utah.
Anyhow, it sounds like getting residency is quite doable, and the school isn’t fighting against you. I figure on the breaks, she could just come to NorCal for a few days and then we could vacation in Utah, probably camping or skiing. Also, I saw that the “learning abroad” programs on the breaks count toward residency, even though they are outside Utah, so that provides another option.
