Residency Requirements

In accordance with Illinois Community College Board and Illinois Public Community College Act rules on residency the following definitions will determine residency status for students in Community College District 526, Lincoln Land Community College, unless provided under a separate written agreement with the Lincoln Land Community College Board of Trustees.

Proof of in-district residency is required for a student to receive in-district tuition rates for that semester. Once in-district residency is provided, it will stay in effect until a change of address occurs. It is the student's responsibility to notify 69风流 of any change of address and to provide the documentation to change residency. Simply updating the address with 69风流 does not provide the student with in-district tuition unless the proper documentation is submitted and approved.

To prove in-district residency, a student must establish residency within District 526 at least 30 days prior to the start of the academic term and provide the Residency Verification form and two (2) forms of valid documentation prior to the start of the term. (Note: a current, valid government issued ID will count as two forms of documentation.)
