The in-county rate applies to residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset
counties. The out-of-county rate applies to Maryland residents who live outside
of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties. The out-of-state rate applies
to residents of any state other than Maryland.
Since criminal justice and hotel-motel-restaurant management have been designated
by the Maryland Higher Education Commission as statewide programs,
Maryland out-of-county residents can enroll in these associate degree
or certificate program options at the in-county tuition rate, as long as the community
college in their county does not offer the program or if the program
in their county has reached enrollment capacity.
Residency Requirements
At the time of admission or whenever a student reports a change in student
information, he or she must confirm his or her domicile for tuition classification
purposes. As used here, “domicile” is defined as “a student’s permanent
place of abode, where physical presence and possessions are maintained with
the intention of remaining indefinitely” or “the permanent place of abode of
any person or persons contributing more than one-half of the student’s financial
support during the most recently-completed year.” To establish domicile,
an individual must permanently reside in the state or in the county for
three months prior to the beginning of the semester/session. However, in
some cases, this does not automatically guarantee domicile status and supporting
evidence of residency may be required in the form of income tax papers,
driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance policies, voter’s registration,
rent receipts and/or other requested information.
