Chaffey College

Nonresident Tuition Fee Waiver Application


Chaffey College Board Policy 5020 states that, “Nonresident students shall be charged nonresident tuition for all units enrolled, unless specifically required otherwise by law."  It further states that, "Students who would otherwise be charged this fee shall be exempt if they demonstrate that they are a victim of persecution or discrimination in the county of which they are a citizen and resident, or if they demonstrate economic hardship. 

Students shall be deemed victims of persecution or discrimination if they present evidence that they are citizens and residents of a foreign country and that they have been admitted to the United States under federal regulations permitting such persons to remain in the United States. 

Students shall be deemed to have demonstrated economic hardship if they present evidence that they are citizens and residents of a foreign country and that they are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program, Supplemental Income/State Supplementary benefits, or general assistance. Exemptions may be made on an individual basis, and not more than 10 percent of the nonresident foreign students attending the District may be so exempted through this provision."

This form will be used to determine if you meet the exemption requirements established by this policy. If these guidelines apply to you, please complete this form in its entirety and attach the required documentation.
