Residency Status

Am I In-District or Out of District?

Mid Michigan College's in-district area includes the public school districts of Beaverton, Clare, Farwell, Gladwin, Harrison, and Mt. Pleasant (beginning in the Fall 2021 semester). Residents of these school districts pay a property tax to support the College, and subsequently pay a lower tuition rate.

Students are considered IN-DISTRICT if they meet one of the following criteria:

• They are a dependent student, as defined by IRS regulations, residing with a parent or guardian and the parent or guardian maintains their primary residence within one of the public school districts of Beaverton, Clare, Farwell, Gladwin, Harrison, or Mt. Pleasant (beginning Fall 2021).
• They reside within the College district at the time of registration and are a United States citizen or permanent resident.
• The student, the student’s spouse, or the parents of a dependent student hold real property within the College district against which real property taxes have been assessed in support of the College for the tax period immediately preceding registration; the tax receipt must show proof of payment of taxes in support of the College.
• The student is an employee of a business or industrial firm or governmental agency or is a member of professional organization within the College district and the employer or organization, by written agreement, agrees to pay directly to the College all tuition and/or fees of a student for employer-approved courses.
• Military personnel whose Home of Record or Legal Residence is within one of the public school districts of Beaverton, Clare, Farwell, Gladwin, Harrison, or Mt. Pleasant (beginning Fall 2021).
• The students are enrolled under the provisions of Act 245, Public Acts of 1935, as amended by Act 371, Public Acts of 1965 (students receiving benefits under the Children of Veterans Tuition Grant).

Students may be asked to verify residency at the time of each official registration by providing an appropriate document such as a driver's license, voter registration card, Secretary of State Identification Card, lease agreement, or property tax receipt for the tax period immediately preceding registration, or by procedures as authorized by the President. (Note: A PO Box will not be accepted as an In-District address. )

So I'm an In-District Student if I live in Mt. Pleasant?

That is correct. The residents of the Mt. Pleasant Public Schools voted on May 4, 2021 to join the College's in-district service area. Beginning in the Fall 2021 semester, students living in the Mt. Pleasant Public School district will pay the in-district tuition rate. The College's in-district area consists of the public school districts of Beaverton, Clare, Farwell, Gladwin, Harrison, and Mt. Pleasant (beginning in the Fall 2021 semester).
