Policies:
Admissions: Residency
It is the intent of Alpena Community College to make every reasonable
effort to correctly classify students according to their residence.
In this spirit, the following regulations approved by the Board
of Trustees will determine a student's residence status in one of
the three categories: in-district (graduate of Alpena High School;
a resident six months in the Alpena Public Schools District), in-state,
or out-of-state. Tuition will
be paid according to residency status. (If a question arises regarding
a student's residence, it is his or her responsibility to discuss
it with the Dean of Student Affairs.)
Regulations
- No one shall be deemed a resident of the Alpena Public Schools
District for the purpose of admission to Alpena Community College
unless he or she has resided in this district for six months immediately
preceding his or her first enrollment.
- No one deemed a non-resident may gain resident status for tuition
purposes without first obtaining approval by the Residency Committee
or its designate.
- The residence of minors shall follow that of their legal guardian
except where guardianship has been established in the district
obviously to evade non-resident tuition.
- Aliens who have secured the Declaration of Intent papers and
have otherwise met the requirements for residence shall be considered
residents.
- The residence of any person, other than a parent or legal guardian
who may furnish funds for payment of college tuition, shall in
no way affect the residence of the student.
- Discretion to adjust individual cases within the spirit of these
regulations is vested in an officer appointed by the President
of Alpena Community College who is responsible and accountable
for the administration of the residency policy.
Proof of Residency
The responsibility of proving qualified residence rests with the
student. All students are subject to a check of residency status
at each registration. The following documents are acceptable to
the college as legitimate proof for determining residency:
- A valid driver's license
- Property tax receipts
- A voter's registration card
- A visa. (Visa presentation is required of all students classified
"foreign.")
