Residency
Residency Policy and Procedure
I. Philosophy and Purpose
The determination of residency or domicile for
tuition purposes is governed by the Frederick
Community College Board of Trustees in
accordance with Maryland State law. For the
purpose of establishing differential tuition, the
following procedure applies to both full and
part-time students.
A student’s legal residence is determined at
the time he/she applies to the College. The
burden of proof of residency is to be upon the
student, and he/she will be required to certify
by signature to the accuracy of the information
provided on the College application.
Students will be considered in-county, out-of-
county, or out-of-state for tuition calculation.
Students whose legal residence is outside the
county or the State of Maryland pay a higher
tuition rate than those whose legal residence
is within the county, unless they are eligible for
a waiver or reduction in tuition. (See Related
Tuition Policy and Procedures.)
II. Definitions for the Purpose of this Policy
and Procedures
A. The word domicile as used in this policy
and procedures shall mean the permanent
place of abode, where physical presence
and possessions are maintained with the
intention of remaining indefinitely; or the
permanent place of abode of any person
or persons contributing more than ½ of the
student’s financial support during the most
recently completed year. Only one domicile
may be maintained by a student.
B. Maryland resident means an individual who
has maintained a domicile in Maryland for at
least three (3) months before becoming an
enrolled student.
C. Enrolled student is an individual who is
registered at the College, either full or part-
time, in a credit or continuing education
class or classes who has either paid or made
arrangement for payment of tuition and fees,
and whose participation in a class has been
verified.
D. In-County:
1. Non-dependent Maryland resident students
are considered to be in-county residents
if, at the time of their application, they are
domiciled in Frederick County for three (3)
consecutive months prior to application.
2. Dependent Maryland resident students
(defined as an unmarried individual claimed
by parent(s) or guardian(s) as an income tax
exemption in the previous taxable year) are
considered to be “in-county” residents if, at
the time of their application, their parent(s) or
guardian(s) are domiciled in Frederick County
for three (3) consecutive months prior to
application.
E. Out-of-County:
1. Non-dependent Maryland resident students
are considered to be out-of-county residents
in the State of Maryland if, at the time of their
application, they are domiciled in another
county in the State of Maryland, or if they
have lived in Frederick County less than three
months.
2. Dependent Maryland resident students are
considered to be out-of-county residents in
the State of Maryland if, at the time of their
application, their parent(s) or guardian(s) are
domiciled in another county in the State of
Maryland, or if they have lived in Frederick
County less than three months.
F. Out-of-State:
1. Non-dependent students are considered to
be residents of another state if, at the time of
their application, they are domiciled outside of
the State of Maryland, or if they have lived in
Frederick County less than three months.
2. Dependent students are considered to be
residents of another state if, at the time of their
application, their parent(s) or guardian(s) are
domiciled outside of the State of Maryland, or
if they have lived in Frederick County less than
three months.
G. Military personnel and their dependents:
1. Who are stationed, living, or domiciled in
Maryland, and their spouses and dependents,
who are entering the College for the first time,
are considered residents of Frederick County.
If the armed services member moves out of
the state, the dependents and spouse may
maintain in-county residence as long as they
stay continuously enrolled in courses at the
College.
