The state of Colorado dictates that you must be a qualified person to be eligible to establish a Colorado domicile and begin the one year domicile period necessary to qualify for in-state tuition.
A qualified person is defined as:
- An adult who is at least 23 years old, or
- Married (you must be married for one year if you are younger than 23), or
- An emancipated minor, or
- A second-year graduate student
