Anne Arundel Community College welcomes all students regardless of citizenship.

Since Dec. 6, 2012, the Maryland Dream Act has allowed certain high school graduates, who are undocumented immigrants and who meet the prescribed requirements, the opportunity to qualify for special tuition rates at Anne Arundel Community College.

To qualify for these special rates as prescribed by the Maryland Dream Act, a student must have:

• Attended a Maryland public or nonpublic high school for at least one year; and
• Graduated from a Maryland high school or received a Maryland high school diploma or equivalent (GED); and
• Registered at a Maryland college or university within six years of high school graduation or receiving a GED; and
• Filed Maryland income tax returns (or returns were filed by parent or legal guardian) for the last three tax years; and
• Applied to become a permanent resident within 30 days of eligibility to do so; and
• Registered with the Selective Service (males 18 and older); and
• Have not been awarded a degree from a public higher education institution.

If you have met these qualifications and wish to apply, complete the Application for In-State Tuition Rate thru Maryland Dream Act and submit it to the admissions office.

Tuition for International Students/Non-U.S. Citizens

For a non-U.S. citizen to be considered a Maryland resident for the purposes of this policy, the student shall possess the legal capacity under state and federal law to establish Maryland domicile. Students with an F, B or J visa status pay out-of-state tuition. Undocumented immigrants who attended high school in Maryland can apply for a special tuition rate equivalent to either the in-county or out-of-county rate. In order to qualify for the Maryland Dream Act tuition rate, students must provide documentation that they meet the requirements.
