Admissions Policy for Undocumented Applicants
Eligible undocumented individuals may attend County College of Morris at a tuition rate based upon their verified residency status (see checklist). To be eligible for in-county or out-of-county tuition rates, undocumented students must submit the following documents to the Office of Student Development and Enrollment Management:
- Verification of having attended a New Jersey high school for at least three (3) years;
- Verification of graduation from a New Jersey high school or received the equivalent of a New Jersey high school diploma;
- Filed a Request for In-County Tuition Status affidavit with the Registrar’s Office stating that the student has filed an application to legalize his/her immigration status, or will file such an application. For other Residency Information, contact the Registrar’s Office, registrar@ccm.edu – Student Community Center, Room 220.
Any undocumented individual who cannot provide the documents above will be charged the out-of-state tuition rate. We encourage you to complete our residency process.
Undocumented students may apply for any major of study offered at CCM, but must understand that certain majors require criminal background checks, and if a student does not possess a Social Security Number by that time, they will not be permitted to continue in that program.
If you have any further questions, you may send an inquiry to our e-mail address, admiss@ccm.edu.
