Matriculation
A student is considered matriculated if he/she has formally applied and been accepted into a degree or certificate program by the college Admissions Office. A student is considered non-matriculated if he/she has not been formally admitted to a degree or certificate program.
Residency
A student’s permanent home of record determines residency for tuition purposes. Normally, this is the location (town, city, state) from which the student enrolls for college. The determining factor is the official address listed on federal tax returns. New residents may qualify for in-state tuition only after a one-year period of continuous domicile in New Hampshire, i.e., purchasing/renting property, obtaining a N.H. driver’s license, vehicle registration and voter registration. Any request for a change of residency status must be received in writing in the Admissions Office prior to September 1st for the Fall Semester or January 1st for the Spring Semester. See the Admissions Office for details.
Out-of-State Applicants
The determination of residency is made by the Admissions Office at the time of admission. Students who wish to appeal a residency decision may request detailed information from the Admissions Office.
New England Regional Student Program
The New England Regional Student Program (NERSP) enables New England residents to enroll in out-of-state public colleges and universities in the six-state region at reduced tuition rates for certain degree programs that are not offered by their home state public institutions.
Transfer Applicants
Applicants with previous college credit should furnish the following:
- Official transcripts and course descriptions from post-secondary institutions previously attended.
- A Financial Aid Transcript from each post-secondary institution attended during the same year of application. This form is available from the college Financial Aid Office.
