Students may also be classified as in-state based on their U.S. court-appointed legal guardian provided that guardian has established and maintained domicile in Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term and the guardianship was not appointed to avoid the payment of out-of-state tuition.
