<p>Again, this isn’t going to impact your decision. You’re already either in or not. </p>
<p>This form is simply verification that you really do qualify for the in-state tuition rate. You would be surprised how many people try to claim residency when they don’t meet the requirements. This form is simply FSU’s way of combating that.</p>
<p>Don’t freak out about it. Like I said above, it only takes like 5 minutes to fill out. And you don’t even have to fill it out until June (for Summer) or August (for Fall) if you don’t want to (keeping in mind of course that is a terrible idea). Just make sure to fill it out or you’re going to get a very unpleasant case of sticker shock when it comes time to pay for FSU at the start of Summer or Fall classes. </p>
<p>The difference between in-state and out of state tuition and fees is a good amount. It’s nearly $16,000 when everything is added up. </p>
