An emancipated minor can begin establishing domicile on the date of emancipation.

Evidence of legal ties outside of Colorado during the domicile year that demonstrates residency in another state or county may include the following:
- Failure to file a Colorado state income tax return or filing a Colorado state income tax return with the address of a non-卡pp电子极速糖果的承诺 county.

-
- Intent is demonstrated by several kinds of connections with the state dated within the one year period prior to the beginning of classes. There is no formula or checklist to follow in establishing domicile. Generally, 实体店 (as shown by rent receipts, home ownership, etc.) plus one connection with one of the counties in the 卡pp电子极速糖果的承诺 program will not be sufficient to establish domicile in one of the 卡pp电子极速糖果的承诺 counties. Several connections are necessary, 和 the more connections that are made, the greater chance a person has of qualifying for residency of one of the 卡pp电子极速糖果的承诺 counties.
- Any connections maintained with any other state or county during the 12-month period for establishing domicile may be viewed as negative intent to make one of the 卡pp电子极速糖果的承诺 counties one’s permanent home.
- Since domicile is defined as a permanent home 和 legal residence, being in Colorado solely for school purposes 和/or temporarily for other purposes does not qualify as domicile for Colorado residency or 卡pp电子极速糖果的承诺.
- Time spent on a CMU reduced tuition program (Western Undergraduate Exchange or Mountains 和 Plains) does not count towards the twelve month domiciliary period. Please refer to the terms 和 conditions of WUE or M&P在这里 http://s3o.jinken-fukuoka.com/financial-aid/tuition/tuition-programs.html.
