that a dependent student is consider a resident of Illinois if he/she meets the following criteria:
"A dependent student is a resident of Illinois if the applicant’s parent(s) physically reside
in Illinois and Illinois is his/her true, fixed, and permanent home at the time the FAFSA
or the Alternative Application for IL Financial Aid was completed and processed.
This means that your parent(s) must have resided in Illinois at the time the FAFSA or the
Alternative Application for IL Financial Aid was completed and processed. Please complete the
attached form and return it to our office with at least one of the documents listed. If you have
any questions regarding this matter, please call our office.
