Tuition

Residency for Tuition Purposes:

All students are classified for tuition purposes under one of the following residency classifications:

• Maricopa County resident
• Out-of-County resident
• Out-of-State resident (including F-1 nonimmigrant students)

Residency for tuition purposes is determined in accordance with state law (A.R.S.15-1801 et seq.) and regulations of the Maricopa Community Colleges Governing Board. The process to prove your residency is detailed here. For more information on residency requirements and the criteria used, please visit the MCCCD website.

New guidelines from the State of Arizona explicitly state our responsibilities in establishing residency and eligibility requirements for all students seeking admissions, financial aid, and other college services. Download and print those guidelines here. We have also provided the list of acceptable documentation for students seeking to establish residency status.
