Residency
The tuition amount is determined by where a student lives. For registration purposes, a student’s residency status is determined as of the date of enrollment and may subsequently change from semester to semester. A student is required to maintain a current address of residence with the Student Enrollment Center. Any student who moves during the semester must report the address change within five school days.

• Hunterdon/Somerset County Resident – A student is considered a Hunterdon/Somerset County resident if he or she maintains a permanent, legal residence in Hunterdon or Somerset County.
  
  
• Out-of-County Resident – A student is considered an out-of-county resident if he or she maintains a permanent, legal residence in New Jersey but outside Hunterdon or Somerset County. If a student is an out-of-county resident, his or her home county may pay part of the student’s tuition through a Chargeback. For more information, the student should contact the county college located in the county where he or she resides.
  
  
• Out-of-State Resident – A student is considered an out-of-state resident if he or she does not reside in New Jersey.
