Qualifying Cut-off Date

The date by which the 12-month physical domicile must have expired in order to possibly be classified in-state for the specified term. The 12-month period begins after a student has completed their move to the State of Colorado and has severed ties to their previous state or county, not merely when a student arrives in Colorado.

Petition Deadline

The Tuition Classification Officer, located in the Admissions Office, must receive fully completed petitions by the first day of the semester that the student is petitioning for in-state. Petitions received after the start of the semester will not be considered without prior exceptions being granted. If you have questions, please reach out to the Tuition Classification Officer at the Admissions office by calling 970.248.1875 or emailing residency@coloradomesa.edu.
