Residency

California Residents

A student living anywhere within the Kern Community College District may attend Cerro Coso Community College provided his/her legal residence is in the district. Generally, college residency status is established by one of the following conditions:

• If the applicant is under the age of 18, his/her parents must currently reside within the Kern Community College District and must have resided within the state of California for 12 consecutive months preceding the first day of the semester.
   
• If the applicant is 18 but not yet 19 years of age, both the applicant and the applicant's parents must have resided within the state of California for 12 consecutive months preceding the first day of the semester.
   
• If the applicant is 19 years or older, the applicant must have resided within the state of California for 12 consecutive months preceding the first day of the semester.

Non-California Residents

An out of state student may be admitted to Cerro Coso Community College under the following conditions:

• Students who are not residents of the state of California as of the day immediately preceding the first day of classes in any given semester or summer session will be required to pay out of state tuition fees.
   
• Active duty military and their dependents are treated as California Residents for enrollment purposes.
   
• Minors (under 18 years of age and not married) will be required to pay the out of state tuition fees if their parents or legal guardian reside outside the state even though such minors may have lived in the state of California for one year or more. Non California residents who wish to become residents of California must reside in the state for one year and one day prior to the beginning of the semester and show evidence of the intent to establish residency (e.g., driver's license, a filed state income tax, auto license).
