Maryland Residency Eligibility

Overall Process:

  • The student first comes to the webform and will select their financial status as either being Independent or Dependent.

  •  

    • If they are independent, they fill out the form and it goes to a signing group.

    • If they are dependent, they need to enter the name and email of the parent/guardian they are dependent on so they can fill out and sign the form.

  • When the student enters the form, they have to fill out information and then sign.

  •  

    • Again, if they’re dependent, once they’re done filling out the form and signing then it goes to their parent/guardian to sign.

  • After they sign the form goes to the signing group to review and initial.
