Non-Resident Students

For tuition purposes, Colorado law determines whether a student is classified as in-state (resident) or out-of-state (non-resident), based on information provided on the application for admission.

To request a change to resident status, complete a petition form for in-state status online at https://rrcc.formstack.com/forms/tuition_classification_petition. The Colorado Higher Education Residency guide can be accessed online at https://highered.colorado.gov/frequently-asked-questions.

Deadlines for submission of the petition are published each semester in the academic calendar. Petitions received after the deadline will not be considered until the following semester.

Changes in classification become effective at the time of your next registration. The final decision regarding tuition status is determined by the Registrar.
