Residency and Citizenship | South Mountain Community College

Overview

Residency and Citizenship or Lawful Status, and Compliance at South Mountain Community College

If you are new to SMCC and the Maricopa County Community College District, establishing residency and citizenship or lawful status is vital because tuition rates vary according to residency classification.

All new students are considered out-of-state until proof of residency and citizenship or lawful status is established. This can be done online or in person with the Enrollment Services Office.

The student bears full responsibility to establish his/her residency and citizenship or lawful status prior to registration, and register under the correct status. Documentation received after the start of the term will be used for residency determination in subsequent terms.

Proof of residency and citizenship or lawful status must be verified with each Maricopa Community College.
