Application Dates

The College accepts applications continuously. For term specific application deadlines, check theacademic calendar - important dates by term. The College reserves the right to close admission before the application deadline. Students are strongly encouraged to apply early.

Residency Policy

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

In-District Residency

An individual is classified as an in-district resident if, for one full year before beginning taking credit classes, the individual has either:

  1. Owned property (or, if under the age of 24, whose parent/guardian has owned property); or
  2. Maintained a permanent and continuous residence in the district.

The Central Oregon Community College District consists of all of Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties, the northern portions of Klamath and Lake counties, and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Jefferson and Wasco counties.

Out-of-District (In-State) Residency

An individual will be classified as an out-of-district resident if, for one full year before beginning taking credit classes, the individual has either:

  1. 拥有的财产(或24岁以下,由父母/监护人拥有的财产);or
  2. 在俄勒冈州长期居住(但不在特区内)。

The student will remain an out-of-district student for two calendar years after the term the student began courses; at the end of the two calendar years, the student will convert to in-district residency.

Out-of-State Residency

An individual who has not maintained a permanent and continuous residence in the state of Oregon during the year before the beginning of the first term of enrollment will be classified as an out-of-state resident. The student will remain an out-of-state student for two calendar years after the term in which the student began courses; after two calendar years, the student will convert to in-district residency. See exemptions below.

Exemption to Out-of-State Residency

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

Verification

Residency of each applicant for credit courses is determined by information provided when applying. When there appears to be an inconsistency, the College may require documentation to verify residency.

Transferring to Another Oregon Institution

In-state residency classifications may be different at Oregon community colleges than at Oregon public universities and can affect tuition rates. Students are encouraged to check residency classifications before beginning their education in Oregon.

Military Personnel

Military veterans who have been discharged from service under honorable conditions (and/or their qualifying dependents) will be assessed tuition as follows:

  • Students who were in-district residents before military service will be charged the in-district tuition rate.
  • 在服兵役前是州内/区外/边境州居民的学生将被收取非居民老兵学费。
  • Students who were not Oregon residents before military service will be charged the non-resident veteran tuition rate. The non-resident veteran tuition rate is calculated as the in-district tuition rate plus 50 percent of the difference between the in-district rate and out-of-district/border state rate.

In order to receive the non-resident veteran tuition rate, a student must submit a certificate of eligibility or DD214 to the the College's veteran certifying official. Per the College’s standard residency policy, a non-resident veteran student will be classified as an in-district resident after two years of enrollment.

Native American Students

Students who are enrolled members of federally recognized tribes of Oregon or of a Native American tribe that had traditional and customary tribal boundaries that included part of Oregon or which had ceded or reserved lands within the state of Oregon shall be charged in-state/out-of-district tuition regardless of their state of residence. Residents of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs are automatically charged in-district tuition. For a listing of eligible tribes, refer to the College'sresidency policy webpage. Note that out-of-state students must provide a copy of tribal enrollment documents before receiving in-state/out-of-district tuition.

Residency Appeals

Students may appeal their residency status by completing a residency petition, which is available in on thepetitions webpage. Residency petitions and supporting documentation must be submitted within 30 days of receipt of letter of admission or the Friday before the start of the term, whichever is sooner. Petitions received after the deadline will be considered for the following term. Any change in residency status will not be retroactive.
