Residency Policy:
Determination of residency status is governed by the following:
- To qualify as an in-district resident, you must have lived within the confines of Muskegon County for six consecutive months prior to the first day of classes for any semester.
- To qualify as an out-of-district resident, you must have lived within the confines of the State of Michigan for six consecutive months prior to the first day of classes for any semester. If you have previously registered as a nonresident you may change to in-district resident status upon satisfying the requirements above. When recently married you shall be deemed an in-district or Michigan resident if your spouse satisfies the requirements above. Initial residency status shall be determined by the Enrollment Services Office.
It is your responsibility to notify the Registrar’s Office/Student Welcome Center, prior to the first day of classes for any semester, of any change in residence that would affect your residency classification. THE BURDEN OF PROOF LIES WITH YOU, THE STUDENT. The above applies only to American citizens, permanent residents and refugees. Required documentation is listed below. All documentation must have the address and required dates listed.
Your residency change request must include your Michigan driver’s license or state ID showing the address at least six months prior to the start of the semester being requested to change. Additionally, you must include a copy of one of the following documents:
- voter identification
- property lease
- vehicle registration
- utility bill
- vehicle insurance certificate
- property tax receipt
Note: All documents must have the student’s name and indication of the Muskegon County address in addition to the date the address began.
Muskegon Community College recognizes that many members of our community use names other than their legal names to identify themselves. As long as the use of a different name is not for the purposes of misrepresentation, the College agrees a student or employee may choose to identify themselves within the College’s information systems with a preferred first name in addition to their legal name.
