<p>I disagree; I do not feel they will be more lenient if the student is financing their own education. All they care about is whether or not the parents are residents of PA. Among the documentation required for reclassification is–</p>
<p>A formal letter written by the student requesting a review of his/her residency status and explaining why he/she should be considered a Pennsylvania resident for tuition purposes. </p>
<p>A complete copy of the registered deed or current, signed lease to the permanent domicile in Pennsylvania. A copy of the deed to the home may be obtained from the county court house. If the residence is leased/rented, the landlord should provide a lease. Depending on the term of the lease, more than one lease may have to be submitted to cover the last twelve (12) months.</p>
<p>A copy of the real estate listing or sales agreement to the previous domicile in the previous state of residence, if applicable.</p>
<p>A complete, signed copy of the most recent Pennsylvania Income Tax Return and Federal Income Tax Return.</p>
<p>A formal letter from the employer on their letterhead verifying full-time employment, date of hire or transfer, and the withholding of Pennsylvania income tax, if the change in domicile is due to a job relocation or offer of employment.</p>
<p>A copy of a recent pay stub, if prior year taxes were filed as a non-Pennsylvania resident.</p>
