Students who have not established a domicile in Arizona as adults
for at least one year (12 months) will be classified as out-of-state
residents for tuition purposes and will be subject to tuition charges in
addition to registration fees. Residency is determined at the time
the Student Information Form is submitted.

Students 18 years of age and over will be assigned residency status
based on proof of their own legal residence. Students under 18 years
of age at the beginning of classes may be assigned the residency
status of their parents or legal guardians. Legal guardianship must
be by court order.

The only exceptions to these rules are dependents (for income tax
purposes) of parents who reside in Arizona; a person who is a
member of or a spouse/dependent of a member of the armed forces
of the US stationed in Arizona pursuant to military orders; an
employee or spouse of an employee transferred to this state by
employer for employment purposes; a member of a recognized
Indian tribe and resident of a reservation whose land lies in this
state and extends into another state.

Students who have Arizona residency but have not established
residency in Maricopa County for a least fifty days will be classified
as out-of-county students for tuition purposes. An open attendance
policy is in effect for counties in Arizona where there are organized
community college districts. Students from these counties are not
subject to tuition charges. Students from other counties in Arizona
are subject to out-of-county tuition as specified in the schedule of
fees and tuition.

Out-of-County / Out-of-State students should note that residency is
not changed automatically. Proper documentation must be filed,
reviewed and approved before residency status will be changed.
