Residency Verification
Out-of-state Students
Students who are admitted to Northwest Mississippi Community College on the basis of an out-of-state high school or college transcript may be required to submit a residency survey form and provide documentation of legal residency. In addition, the student will be required to sign a legal resident affidavit. Students whose legal residence is in question will be classified as out-of-state and assessed out-of-state fees at the time of registration. The deadline for receipt of all documents will be seven (7) days after the last day of late registration. Please refer to the catalog or class schedule for this date. No adjustments to fees will be made after this deadline.
