More details to this question:
When I was in the 9th grade, I moved to the state of Nevada. I moved back to California in the middle of my 10th grade year. Now I am a freshman at a California university and I want to transfer to the University of Nevada, but I don't know whether or not I qualify for in-state tuition. I read an official Nevada text on their residency policy and it stated that if a person moves out of Nevada with the intent of someday returning, when they return, the time they spent out of Nevada will not count against them. But I'm not sure if my case falls under this.

I am not sure whether your case would fall under this policy myself. This is not a situation in which you resided in the state of Nevada, moved to California for a few years, and are now transferring back to Nevada. Your situation shows much less connection to the state of Nevada. You may wish to read Nevada cases on how the residency policy has been interpreted or consult a local practitioner familiar with education law. Otherwise you can just argue in your application that you are eligible for in-state tuition and see what happens.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
