Aspects of Residency
- The residency of a student will be based on current and valid Driver's License, State ID or Passport.
- The legal residency of a student will be established using the address and other pertinent information submitted on the application and registration materials but will be verified by the College.
- The residency of minors (under 18) shall follow that of their parents or legal guardian. However, students under 18 who provide sufficient evidence that they are independently supporting themselves and reside in the Washtenaw Community College District may qualify as in-district residents regardless of their parent's residency status.
- The residency of any person, who may furnish funds for payment of College fees, (other than a parent or legal guardian with whom the minor resides) shall in no way affect the residency of the student.
- Those students who are transferred to Michigan by the military or who have been discharged by the military within the last six months must present appropriate documentation to waive the six month Michigan residency requirement.
- Students who live with and whose spouse is a legal resident of Washtenaw County or State of Michigan will obtain the residency status of their spouse.
- Students who live with and are dependent on a parent or a legal guardian who is a legal resident of Washtenaw County or State of Michigan will obtain the residency of the parent or legal guardian.

All documents must be current and valid.
- In District - State of Michigan driver's license or State ID with Washtenaw County address.
