Residency
Residency Classification
Your tuition rate is based on your residency status. In general, Arizona residency requires establishing a domicile (meaning physical presence) in Arizona for at least 12 consecutive months before the first day of classes.
Students who live in Coconino County qualify for in-district tuition rates. Students who live elsewhere may qualify for out-of-district, out-of-state, or other tuition classifications.
Residency is verified during the application process by using a government-issued photo ID, and, in some cases, additional documentation.

On April 9, 2018 the Arizona Supreme Court determined that Arizona colleges are not permitted to grant in-state tuition rates to DACA recipients. Under the Arizona Supreme Court ruling, students who live in Arizona under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, are required to pay the Arizona non-resident tuition rate. DACA students should refer to the non-resident per credit hour tuition rate published on the Coconino Community College’s Tuition page.
The CCC Foundation offers scholarships from private donors for DACA students. The CCC Foundation also has scholarships that any student can apply for regardless of immigration status, of which, DACA students may qualify.
