Residency in the College District

Tuition and fees are assessed based on a student's legal residency. A post office box address will not be considered as a residence for determination of tuition charges. The three categories of residency are:

• In District - A person whose residence is within the boundaries of St. Charles County with the exception of the Washington School District.
  
• Out of District - A person whose residence is in Missouri, but outside of St. Charles Community College District.
  
• Out of State - A person whose residence is not within the state of Missouri. (International students are classified as out-of-state students).

NOTE:    Refer to Tuition/Fees for information regarding changes in residency.

Penalty for False Information: Students who intentionally give false or inaccurate information regarding residency or who fail to inform the college of a change of address that alters their residence classification will be subject to the following penalties:

• They may be subject to disciplinary action
• Their academic records will not be released to any agency until they have paid the district the difference between the fees and tuition already paid and the amount owed by a person of their residency classification.

For Further Explanation - You may call the registrar for a clarification of the residency policy.
