Acceptable Documents for Proof of Residency

Requirements for Residency

Tuition rates are determined by the legal residence of the student. Residence is defined as the place where the student lives and which is the student’s true permanent home. A student who temporarily moves into the district for the purpose of attending the College at the lower in-district rate will not be considered as having established a bona fide residence within the district.

Students may be required to furnish legal evidence of their residency. If required, a student must submit two documents (one from each category below) to Enrollment Services at the Quad Cities Campus or the East Campus. Each document must list the student’s name and residential address (not a Post Office box). To qualify as in-district students, individuals must reside within District 503 for at least 30 days immediately prior to the day classes begin.

Documentation must be submitted at least 5 calendar days prior to the start of the semester and show the current address and date. Regardless of the date a student registers, residency will not be changed during a term. If a residency change is needed, it will be effective for the next term at the time of registration.
