St.Hilaire" To: Discussion of Residency Issues State Wide Subject: Re: Resident Classification (fwd) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII ***I think I would call her a resident. It sounds like she declared her intention to become a res of WA in fall 96. It sounds like she's truly independent from her parents. It sounds like she's just now changing her driver's license, but again I cite her fall 96 intent to become a resident, which I believe she can easily prove. It sounds like her parents left Oregon in fall 96, so she had no reason to return there.
