Residency
Policy

Determination of residency for purposes of tuition will be made according to the following definitions.  Applicants to the nursing program must satisfy in-district residency requirements as outlined in the nursing program application packet.

In district 

An individual who owns property, or who has maintained a permanent and continuous residence, in the district for one full year prior to the beginning of the first term of enrollment will be classified as an in-district resident.  The COCC District consists of all of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties, the northern portion of Klamath and Lake Counties, and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Jefferson and Wasco Counties. 

 

Out of district (in state) 

An individual who has maintained a permanent and continuous residence in the state of Oregon but outside of the COCC district during the full year prior to the beginning of the first term of enrollment will be classified as “out of district.” The student’s residency will convert to in-district two calendar years after the term in which the student began classes.

 

Out of state 

An individual who has not maintained a permanent and continuous residence in the state of Oregon during the full year prior to the beginning of the first term of enrollment will be classified as “out of state.” The student’s residency will convert to in-district two calendar years after the term in which the student began classes.

Native American Students
Students who are enrolled members of federally recognized tribes of Oregon or who are enrolled members of a Native American tribe which had traditional and customary tribal boundaries that include parts of the state of Oregon or which had ceded or reserved lands within the state of Oregon shall be charged in-state tuition regardless of their state of residence (note that residents of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs are charged in-district tuition).  See a listing of eligible tribes.  Note that students must provide a copy of tribal enrollment documents to the Director of Admissions/Registrar prior to starting classes.

 

Exemption:  Per Oregon Administrative Rules, residents of Washington, California, Nevada and Idaho will be charged in-state (out-of-district) tuition.

 

Verification: Residency is determined from information provided on the student’s application. If there appears to be an inconsistency, the College may require additional information.

 

Transferring to another Oregon Institution?

In-state residency classifications are different at Oregon Community Colleges than at Oregon University System (OUS) schools and can affect the tuition rates you pay. Educate yourself before you begin your education in Oregon to avoid surprises later.

 

OUS schools often classify people who move to Oregon to go to school as non-residents even if they have resided in the state for a year, attended a community college as an in-state resident, have registered to vote and own property in this state.

 

If you moved to Oregon to attend school, with plans to start at a community college and then transfer to a university, read the OUS residency policy to plan your transfer.
