居民身份和对学生账单的影响

作为一个国家机构, 博彩网站技术社区学院 sets tuition and fees based on residency classification 规定 from the 马萨诸塞州高等教育系 以及新英格兰高等教育委员会.

The amount of tuition a student is charged per credit depends on the student’s resident status. In-state (麻萨诸塞州) students are charged a lower rate of tuition than out-of-state students (see 居民身份的确定 below and 学杂费表).

如果你是州内学生, it is very important that you complete the In-State Tuition Eligibility Form with the Admissions Office 在你申请博彩网站的时候. 如果你不填写表格，你将被开除 自动收取州外学费，即使你是州内学生. The burden of proof of in-state resident status rests on the student seeking classification as a 麻萨诸塞州 resident.

A student may at any time request 博彩网站 to reclassify him or her as a 麻萨诸塞州 resident if the factual basis for his or her classification as a non-resident has changed. 然而, any change in a student’s classification as the result of a request for reclassification or an appeal approval will be retroactive only to the beginning of the semester during which 博彩网站 makes the final decision to reclassify the student.
