Residency Policy and Procedures
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 and Fees
Policy and Procedures.

Procedures

refers to the permanent place
of abode, where physical presence and
possessions are maintained with the intention

maintained by a student.
