Residency Policy for tuition purposes for Active Duty Military Personnel and their dependents:

Anne Arundel Community College waives the 3 month residency requirement for active duty military and their dependents. Students need to complete and submit the Residency Petition form along with a copy of your military ID (also dependent ID, if spouse or child), copy of orders, and a copy of housing assignment, lease, deed or utility bill showing your resident address. Students will pay tuition at either the in-county or out-of-county or out-of-state tuition rate based on where he/she resides as demonstrated by the documentation. The link to the Residency Petition is below.
