<p>does anybody know if there are different rules for the state residency requirements if you have a disability? if so what are they? i am looking to go to school out of state so any responses will be welcome!</p>
<p>i am interested in texas, florida and kansas especially.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>I have read many state residency policies and I have never seen an exception to the residency requirements based on a disability – so I would have to say no, there are no special exceptions for the disabled.</p>
<p>however – if you are disabled and have a reason you want to attend a certain out-of-state campus due to your disability, it wouldn’t hurt to inquire at the admissions office if they would be willing reconsider your residency due to exceptional circumstances.</p>
<p>What some state schools do for students they really want to enroll is to grant them a waiver for the difference between the out-of-state tuition and the in-state tuition. If you are a strong student, you might look and see if the schools offer that.</p>
<p>I haven’t ever seen anything either…but call the schools and ask. Nothing ventured…nothing gained.</p>
