    I am showing as a nonresident, but I have been in Colorado for over a year — what do I need to do?

    • ACC determines your residency at the time you complete your College application. See Tuition Classification Information for details.
    • You must have documentation showing you have had physical presence in Colorado for at least one year prior to the first day the semester begins. Examples of documentation may include:
      • Holding a Colorado driver’s license or motor vehicle registration
      • Paying Colorado state income taxes
      • Owning residential Colorado real estate
      • Registering to vote in Colorado
      • Being permanently employed in Colorado
    • If you are under 23 and not emancipated, the residency information you record is for your parents or legal guardian.
    • If you (and your parents or legal guardian, if applicable) are Colorado residents, and the system has recorded you as a non–resident, the information on your application may not have been complete.
    • If you are under 23, but emancipated from your parents or legal guardian, you will need to complete a Petition for In-state Tuition Classification.form.
    • If you are coming from another community college, we take the residency information determined by your “home” or previous school.
