Tuition Classification Classification | Payment plan | Refunds | Tuition home Tuition classification is governed by state law (Colorado Revised Statutes 23-7-101, et seq.,1997.) That applies to all public institutions of higher education in Colorado. Arapahoe Community College does not have discretion to make exceptions to the rules as defined by state law. Non-resident tuition represents the cost of your education at public institutions. When a student is classified as a Colorado resident for tuition purposes, income-tax payers of the State of Colorado pay the differences between the non-resident and resident tuition. Therefore, ACC rigorously enforces tuition classification, as mandated by state statute. To qualify for in-state tuition, you (or your parents or legal guardian if you are under 23 years of age and not emancipated) must have been domiciled in Colorado for 12 consecutive months prior to the beginning of the semester. Emancipation means complete self-support and financial independence. Marriage is an automatic act of emancipation. You must be married for at least one year to be considered emancipated. Domicile for tuition purposes is determined by two factors: 1)your ability to show a permanent place of residence in Colorado, and 2)your ability to demonstrate your intent to remain in Colorado. If petitioning residency, completed petitions must be returned to the Information Central Office no later than ten class days after the first of the semester. Petitions received after that date will not be considered for that semester. Active Duty Military may be eligible for resident tuition rates if you are on permanent military duty in Colorado. You will need to submit the appropriate documentation each semester you attend ACC. For details contact the Admissions and Records Office. Comprehensive information on tuition classification and petitions are available in the Information Central Office --OR-- call 303-797-5621. Students wishing to have their tuition classification changed may fill out the Correction for Tuition Classification (PDF format, 223 KB) form. Download
