Your polling place should be disclosed to you once you register. However, if you’re still not sure about your local polling place, view the Elections and Voter Information provided by the Secretary of State.
If you receive scholarship money, please confirm that residency in a particular place is not a requirement of the scholarship and/or that voter registration will not affect your eligibility. APU cannot advise you on where your legal place of residence is.
Federal financial aid, including Pell Grants, Perkins and Stafford Loans, Academic Competitive Grants, SMART Grants, and other federal loans generally are not impacted by your place of residence within the United States. Some private scholarships and grants are designated for residents of a particular place, so it is good to check with the administrator of the program to see how they determine residency.
A student’s tuition status can depend on where they are a resident. So yes, where a student resides can affect in-state or out-of-state tuition status.
If your current address does not match your driver’s license, you can register to vote at your new address and the ID and proof of residency requirements with your Secretary of State’s office. You may need to get a new driver’s license.
Where you reside can have an impact on many things, including your taxes, health insurance, identification, and other matters. APU cannot advise you on the outcome, so please check into these matters before you take steps to change your place of residence.
