Emancipation happens automatically at the age of majority. So provided the college kid is above this age then technically they are emancipated (i.e. their parents cannot be held responsible for their actions). Pragmatically of course their parents will probably be helping and supporting them and they will probably neither consider themselves nor act fully emancipated. Emancipation can happen below the age of majority where the minor weds or is fully self-sufficient. Often this needs a declaration by the court. Early emancipation can also occur through the contracting of certain kinds of disease.
