Residency

Resident Classification

The definition of a legal resident of Oklahoma to be used in the assessment of fees at TCC is as follows: The legal residence of a dependent person is that of his/her father, mother or legal guardian(s) as defined by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Proof (if requested) of residency may be defined as establishing domicile in Oklahoma and physical residence for the previous 12 months. Domicile is defined as having two components—residence and the intention to remain. If it is determined that an applicant entered the state with the express purpose of attending college, non-resident status will be assigned. Other classification options may be available for military personnel or spouses and dependents. Contact the Admission and Records Office for details. A person holding permanent-resident or amnesty status, who has resided in Oklahoma for at least 12 consecutive months and who meets any other applicable criteria for establishment of domicile may file for resident classification. Contact the Director of Enrollment Services on any campus for clarification and to petition for resident classification.
