Residency Status Policy

To establish residency status: Residency status is established at the time a student matriculates or enrolls at Crowder College. To establish residency status proper verification must be provided or available upon application to verify eligibility for lower tuition rates of district and in-state students (see the residency requirements below or contact Records at 417-455-5664). The residence of a minor student will be the residence of the parents/legal guardian(s) unless the student has established court declared emancipation.

To maintain residency status: The student establishes residency status at the time of the application and that status remains in effect while the student is continuously enrolled at Crowder College (summer terms excluded). Students not continuously enrolled may be required to provide further verification of their current residency status upon re-enrollment.

Changing residency status: A request for a change of residency status must be submitted, in writing, to the Records Office with appropriate evidence or documentation of residency change. Administrative action to change the residency status of a student is at the discretion of the College Dean of Students. In accordance with the Due Process policy, students may appeal decisions by submitting a grievance to the College Dean of Students for review (see Student Handbook for further information on non-academic appeals/grievance procedures). Four categories of residency in which the student is classified for the purpose of assessing fees and tuition include the following:

District residents

A student (or parents/legal guardians, if he/she is a minor) who has established residency within the college district (Neosho, Diamond, Seneca, East Newton and McDonald County school districts) must submit requests for change of status, no later than, two (2) weeks prior to the term for which the change is requested. A change to District Residency may be requested if the student (or parents/legal guardians, if he/she is a minor):

1. Becomes a Real Estate or Personal Property Taxpayer in the college district and presents a current paid tax receipt issued by the county tax collector.

2. Provides verification of Marriage to a Missouri Resident who is/becomes a real estate taxpayer or personal property taxpayer in the college district and presents a current paid tax receipt, issued by the county collector, to the Records Office.

3. Military Discharge in the state of Missouri while residing in the college district.
