Residency Information for Tuition at LCCC
The Admissions Office determines your residency by the information you provide on your application for admission or readmission to LCCC. This residency status remains in effect until you complete a Change of Address Form.
In order to establish in-county or out-of-county residency, you must meet the following basic requirements:
In-county and Out-of-county students: Proof of in-county or out-of-county residency must be submitted to the Admissions Office prior to payment of tuition for classes.
Out-of-state students: PA State Code (Chapter 35{35.29b}) requires an out-of-state student to be a resident of the Commonwealth for 12 months prior to registration in order to meet the residency requirements for tuition purposes.
Proof of residency may be in one of the following forms:
- Drivers license
- Vehicle registration
- Voter's registration card
- Notarized statement indicating name & current address
- Rental or lease agreements
- Property tax receipts
If you establish residency in another state, you may lose your Pennsylvania residency. The College reserves the right to challenge a student's residence at any time if there is reason to suspect that the student's address is incorrect. Residency may be revoked if LCCC finds that residency was granted to you on the basis of false or misleading information.
This explanation is intended to provide general information concerning residence for tuition purposes and does not replace the Residency Policy in the College Catalog.
