York Technical College is
required, under guidelines enacted by the South Carolina Commission on
Higher Education, to determine the state residency status of applicants
and students for tuition and fee purposes. Tuition, at York Technical
College, is assessed on basis of a student’s legal, permanent
residence. Students who are not legal residents of the State of South
Carolina, or who do not qualify for residency exceptions are required to pay out-of-state tuition rates.
For permanent residents of South
Carolina, confirmation of legal South Carolina residency on the York
Technical College Admission Application is acknowledgment that the
student meets all requirements of Section 59-112, South Carolina Code of
Laws that determine eligibility for in-state tuition rates.
Note:
The College reserves the right to require satisfactory proof that
the student meets requirements for in-state fees. Students who
falsify information regarding their state of permanent residence
will be charged the appropriate tuition rate for each term attended
and may incur additional financial penalties.
