Residents of Bordering Counties Outside Georgia Residents of Cherokee County, Alabama, which borders Floyd County, shall pay the same fees as residents of Georgia. Applicants should complete the application for Certification of Cherokee Alabama Residency, which must be notarized by the Clerk of Court of Cherokee County, Alabama and submitted to the Registrar's Office. To avoid delay and inconvenience at registration, the petition must be filed no later than 10 working days prior to the semester of registration for which the student is petitioning in-state residence. Change of Residency Status Students who enter Floyd College as non-resident students but who wish later to qualify as legal residents must fill out a Request for Residency Classification Form available in the Registrar's Office or at any satellite campus. A student's residence status is not changed automatically, and the burden of proof that the student qualifies as a legal resident under the regulations of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia rests with the student.
Students are responsible for registering under the proper residence classification.
