TUITION The Maricopa Colleges require all students to answer a series of questions on college enrollment forms in response to the passage of Proposition 300/HB 2008. This law does not prevent anyone from enrolling in the Maricopa Community Colleges; however this State law requires that a person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student or entitled to classification as a county resident. Students are required to provide proof of citizenship or legal status in order to be eligible to be charged in-state/in-county rates. Visit www. maricopa.edu/residency for additional information. Students pay tuition and fees per semester credit hour according to their Residency Classification. See Residency Guidelines on this page or consult the current College Catalog for a full description of residency classifications and policies. Visit www.maricopa.edu/about/?tuition for additional information. Residency is initially determined by the information submitted on the Student Information Form. Students under 18 years of age may be assigned the dependent residency status of their parents or legal guardians. Students 18 years of age or over may be assigned residency based on their own proof of legal residence. Final residency decisions for tuition purposes will be made in accordance with ARS 15-1801 and regulations of the Maricopa Community Colleges Governing Board. 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.
