resident vs citizen for in country rates?

A thought occured to me the other day.  Im marrying my british DF and moving over to England, and I had thought I'd have to be a citizen to get the in country student tuition rates.  But as hard as Im trying to remember from applying to Sussex, I think the only stipulation (that I can remember mind you) was questions of "are you a resident?"  and, with my spousal visa, I'd fit this criteria.

Can I get the in country tuition rates like this or do i have to be a full fledged, i've been here three years and taken the test, citizen?

Regardless of being a citizen or not, in order to get "home student" rates, you must have resided in the UK for the 3 years previous to your enrolment.

Meaning that even if you were a British citizen, if you had been living in Canada for the past 10 years and then returned to the UK and wanted to enrol in classes, you would pay "international student" fees.

thanks for your swift response, I figured this to be the case, but I wanted to check.   

If you have been living in the UK for 12 months, and married to a settled person for 12 months, you are also "home" for a Further Education (pre-degree) course.
