The minor children of persons who, having resided in this state for at least twelve months immediately prior to such a transfer, are transferred by their employers to some location outside the United States shall be considered as Illinois residents for purposes of the computation and payment of tuition^ at any state supported school. However, this Section shall apply only when the minor children of such parents enroll in a state-supported college or university within five years from the time their parents are transferred to some location outside the United States. If the parent(s) or legal guardian of a resident student person establishes a domicile outside the state of Illinois after the student person has been admitted, the student person shall continue to be classified as a resident student until degree completion, assuming timely matriculation and providing the student person maintains continuous enrollment and maintains a separate residence within the state of Illinois. It is required that a person who claims Illinois domicile while living in another state or country will provide proof of the continued Illinois domicile. Proof may include, but is not limited to, evidence that the student person (or parent or legal guardian as applicable) has not acquired a domicile in another state, has maintained a continuous voting record in Illinois, and has filed regular Illinois resident state income tax returns during absence from the state. A student person whose parents move to Illinois may become a resident at the beginning of the next term following the move. An adult independent person whose parent or parents have established and are maintaining a bona fide residence in Illinois will be regarded as a resident if the adult independent person lives in Illinois. Even though a divorced or separated parent who is not a resident of Illinois provides significant financial support to the student, the student, a person shall be classified as a resident as long as the other parent resides permanently in Illinois. A nonresident shall be classified as a resident if his/her spouse is a resident of Illinois and meets the applicable requirements of these regulations. A noncitizen may establish residency through his/her resident spouse, provided the noncitizen complies with Section D of these Regulations. A person who is actively serving in the Armed Forces of the United States and who is stationed and/or present in the state in connection with that service, may be eligible for a waiver of the nonresident portion of tuition in accordance with Board policy as long as the person remains stationed and/or present in Illinois. The waiver is extended to the person's spouse and dependent children when they also live in the state. A resident of Illinois, and the spouse and dependent children, who is stationed outside of Illinois in active service in the Armed Forces of the United States and who has maintained residency under Section G shall be classified as a resident. Staff members of the University and of allied agencies, and faculties of stateassisted institutions of higher education in Illinois, holding an appointment of at least one-quarter time, and their spouses and dependent children, shall be treated as residents.

The appointment shall require service for not less than three-fourths of the term.
