The taxing district for NHMCCD coincides with the boundaries of Aldine, Conroe, Cypress-Fairbanks, Humble, Klein, Magnolia, New Caney, Splendora, Spring, Tomball and Willis Independent School Districts. For tuition purposes, the students who enroll will be classified as follows:

1. In-district resident – An in-district resident shall be defined as a person younger than 18 years of age whose parents have been residents of Texas for the 12 months preceding enrollment and are physically residing within the taxing district of North Harris Montgomery Community College District as of the official enrollment reporting date, or a person 18 years of age or older, who has been a resident of Texas for the 12 months preceding enrollment and is physically residing within the taxing district of NHMCCD as of the official enrollment reporting date.

2. Out-of-district resident – An out-of-district resident is defined as a person younger than 18 years of age whose parents or legal guardians have been residents of Texas for the 12 months preceding enrollment and are physically residing outside the taxing district boundaries of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District as of the official enrollment reporting date, or a person 18 years of age or older who has been a resident of Texas for the 12 months preceding enrollment and is physically residing outside the taxing district boundaries of NHMCCD, as of the official enrollment reporting date.

3.

Required Documentation for State Resident/In-District Resident Status

Individuals registering as residents of Texas must provide valid documentation of Texas residence as defined by the rules and regulations of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. People registering as in-district residents must provide documentation which substantiates in-district resident status. Items valid for documentation of in-district status will be determined by the admissions office.

It is the responsibility of the student to register under the proper residence classification. If there is any question about classification, it is the student’s responsibility, prior to the time of registration, to discuss this with the admissions office and have an official determination made. Deliberate falsification of residence documentation may subject a student to immediate dismissal.
