A NON-RESIDENT of the College district is defined as a citizen of the United States whose legal residence has been established within the state of Michigan, but not within the College district.

An OUT-OF-STATE RESIDENT is defined as a citizen of the United States whose legal residence has been established outside the state of Michigan, except that residents of the state of Indiana shall be eligible for a tuition rate of $1.00 per credit hour above the rate established for NON-RESIDENTS.

An INTERNATIONAL RESIDENT is a non-citizen of the United States. If you are an alien who holds a valid Alien Registration Receipt Card (Permanent Resident Card), political asylum, or an "H1", "H4", "E'' or "L'' visa and have documented this with the College, you are eligible for classification according to the definitions of residency stated above. You should be prepared to document your alien status at the time of registration.

Your residency status is based on the taxing district in which you live, and the tuition you pay is based on your residency status. Residency is established at the end of the first week of the fall and spring semesters and on June 15th for the summer semester. Your residency status as of that date remains in effect for that semester. Changes in your residency status made after this timeline will affect your tuition rate for the upcoming semester.

Acceptable documentation for establishing and proving your residency is as follows:

1. Valid Driver's License
2. Michigan ID Card
3. Voter Registration Card
4. Lease Agreement showing your name as an occupant
5. Business mail received in your name at the stated address
   

You should be prepared to prove your legal residence at each registration.

Your residency must be established before you can access secure areas within the Kellogg Registration Information System (KRIS).

A change in address may be made at any registration site or may be mailed or faxed to the Customer Service Center.

A change in residency requires documentation as shown above and may be made at any registration site. Documents may also be mailed or faxed to the Customer Service Center.

Note: Documents mailed and faxed will experience a processing delay.

When residency discrepancies are found your residency status will be flagged and your tuition rate will automatically be adjusted.

Contact the Registrar's office for questions regarding residency.
