CCA Residency Classification for Tuition Purposes

At the time of application for admission, students are classified for tuition purposes as “in-state residents” or “out-ofstate residents,” according to provisions of Colorado law.

To qualify for in-state tuition, students (or their parents or legal guardians, if they are under 23 years of age and not emancipated) must have been domiciled in Colorado for at least one year prior to the first day of the semester for which they seek residency. Domicile for tuition purposes is determined by two factors: 1) ability to show a permanent place of residence in Colorado, and 2) ability to demonstrate intent to remain in Colorado. Students prove their intent by providing documents showing 12 months of domicile in Colorado:
1. Colorado income tax returns
2. Evidence of permanent Colorado employment status
3. A Colorado drivers license or vehicle registration
4. Evidence of Colorado voter registration

The Enrollment Services office requires a minimum of two proofs of domicile, but depending on circumstances, CCA may request additional information. If students have been classified as non-resident and feel this is in error because of incorrect information provided on the initial application, a correction form must be submitted by the first day of class. If it is determined that the correction form and any supporting documentation is insufficient to prove residency, the student can petition for in-state tuition. This petition must be submitted within 10 days.
