Procedure No. 202.2

Adopted: 04/23/96

Description: Determining Applicable Residency Classification
The following classifications of students will be recognized for purposes of records, fees, and other identification characteristics:
1. County Residents: A resident of Atlantic County will be a person who has been permanently domiciled in Atlantic County for a period of at least six (6) months or more prior to the first day of instruction in the semester for which he/she has applied. Persons owning property in Atlantic county who have not been permanently domiciled as defined above will not be classified as residents. Applicants who are not recent graduates of Atlantic County high schools will be required to submit evidence of having been domiciled in Atlantic County.
2. Out-of-County Residents: An out-of-county resident will be a person who has maintained a permanent residence in the State of New Jersey, as evidenced by a certificate of residence for one year or more and who has maintained a permanent domicile for six (6) months or more in a county other than Atlantic County prior to the first day of instruction in the semester for which admission is requested.
3. Out-of-State Residents: An out-of-state resident will be a person who maintains a permanent domicile in a state other than New Jersey, and a person who has maintained a permanent domicile in New Jersey for a period of less than six (6) months.
4. International Students: Foreign students will be citizens of foreign countries (with student visas) who qualify for admission in all other respects. They may be accepted on a space-available basis and will be charged at the foreign student rate.
International students wishing to attend Atlantic Cape Community College are required to pay a non-refundable application fee and deposit into their student account the tuition cost for one year before ACCC will issue a Student Visa, I-20. This policy applies to all international students whether applying for the academic year beginning in the Fall or Spring semester.
- Tuition: International students will be charged the international student rate for their first 24 earned college credits at ACCC. The tuition rate thereafter shall be at the Atlantic County resident rate.
- Chargeback: International Students are not New Jersey county residents and are therefore not eligible for county chargebacks. No chargeback required.
- Articulation Agreements: International Students enrolled in high school programs that have an articulation agreement with ACCC may apply those credits toward satisfying ACCC's 24 college credit rule for Inter- national Students. Students entering the college through this process will be charged the international student rate their first semester and each semester thereafter until the 24 credit rule is satisfied. Articulation credits are awarded after a student earns 12 credits at ACCC.
5. International Visitors: Individuals entering the United States as visitors may enroll at ACCC. Students in this category not applying for a Student visa pay the regular application fee and register at the international student tuition rate.
