Tri-County Technical College determines residency based on South Carolina law and Commission on Higher Education regulations.
There is a difference in tuition for residents of South Carolina, for residents of Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties, and non-residents of these areas for tuition purposes.
Residency factors may include length of time domiciled in state or county, employment, type of visa, dependency, and military status. The resident status of a dependent person is based on the resident status of the person who claims him or her as a dependent on federal tax returns and provides more than half of his or her support.
The initial residency classification is made at the time of admission and prevails each semester until the determination can be successfully challenged.
Students petitioning to change to in-county must submit an Affidavit of Residency form and proof residency to Student Records, 190 Miller Hall. Proof of residency may include a recent utility bill (including phone, electric, gas, water, sewer, and cable), property tax receipt, voter ID card, or any official letter issued within the last 30 days by a state or local governmental agency on its letterhead.
If changing residency from out-of-state to any other residency status, a Residency Application must be completed and submitted to the Residency Officer (190 Miller Hall) for processing.
The petition deadline is the day before the first day of Session A classes for the term in which the student is attempt to qualify for in-state tuition. Petitions submitted after this deadline will not be considered for instate tuition for the term.
