Residency
In order to qualify for in-district tuition rates, any student shall be a resident of the district at the time of registration. Any student who moves into the district for the purpose of enrolling at in-district tuition rates shall not be considered a resident of the district. When the residency of a student or prospective student is not clear, the proof of residency may be required. Any student who changes residency during the school year shall immediately report such change to the college. If such change of address shall cause a change in the applicable tuition rate, then the new tuition rate shall take effect at the beginning of the next academic semester, module or summer term. (Board Policy 3.4.6)
When appropriate, based on students' application for admission, students are asked to fill out residency questionnaire forms at the time of admission to the college. Based on information concerning, age, length of time at current address, previous address, current driver's license information, current employment status and tax dependent status, a residency classification will be determined by the director of Admissions following Illinois Community College Board guidelines. Student residency classification will be by mail notification.
