为了达到学费的目的，作为蒙哥马利县或马里兰州的居民，必须在本学期第一次定期上课前保持不少于三个月的合法住所。此外，学生必须具备在州和联邦法律下建立马里兰住所的法律能力。In establishing the domicile of a person enrolling in a credit course at Montgomery College, the following procedures shall prevail:

• Domicile shall be considered as a person’s permanent place of abode, where physical presence and possessions are maintained and where he or she intends to remain indefinitely. The domicile of a person who received more than one-half of his or her financial support from others in the most recently completed year is the domicile of the person contributing the greatest proportion of support, without regard to whether the parties are related by blood or marriage.
• At the time of admission to or initial enrollment in any credit course at Montgomery College, each student shall sign a statement affirming domicile and the factual basis for the claim of domicile.
• At the time of each subsequent enrollment, each student shall indicate whether his or her domicile is the same as or different from that affirmed for the last semester in attendance. If facts indicate the domicile has changed, the student shall complete a new statement.
• In determining the adequacy of the factual basis for domicile provided by the student, the College will consider any of the following factors and request evidence for substantiation:
  • ownership or rental of local living quarters
  • substantially uninterrupted physical presence, including the months when the student is not in attendance at the College
  • maintenance in Maryland and in the county of all, or substantially all, of the student’s possessions
  • payment of Maryland state and local piggyback income taxes on all taxable income earned, including all taxable income earned outside the state
  • registration to vote in the state and county
  • registration of a motor vehicle in the state, with a local address specified, if the student owns or uses such a vehicle
  • possession of a valid Maryland driver’s license, with a local address specified, if the student is licensed anywhere to drive a motor vehicle

A domicile in Montgomery County or the state of Maryland is lost when a new domicile is established for a period of three months at a location outside the county or state.

In addition to the general requirements, the following provisions apply to the specific categories of students indicated:

• Military personnel and their dependents who were domiciliaries of Maryland at the time of entrance into the armed forces and who are stationed outside the state may retain Maryland domicile as long as they do not establish domicile elsewhere.
• Military personnel and their dependents who are on active duty for a period of more than 30 days and whose domicile or permanent duty station is in the State may retain Maryland domicile as long as they are continuously enrolled.
• 如果个人具有在马里兰州建立住所的法律能力，其移民身份不排除根据本政策获得马里兰州居留权。
• A student enrolled in a program designated as statewide or regional by the state Board for Community Colleges may be considered a resident for tuition purposes if domiciled in the approved region for the program.
• A student from outside the state who enrolls as part of a reciprocity agreement negotiated between Maryland and another state may be considered a resident for tuition purposes.
• Students who move to Maryland as an employee (civilian personnel or defense contractor) or a family member of an employee as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) may be eligible to receive a waiver of out-of-state or out-of-county fee.

在蒙哥马利学院决定的合理时间内，学生可以要求更改住院医师类别或上诉当前类别。世界杯摩洛哥vs克罗地亚欧赔更改居留身份分类的请求必须附带证明这种更改的证据，并且必须在冬季或夏季课程的第三周或同等课程结束前处理(20%)。截止日期后的任何更改将在下个学期生效。上诉应以书面形式提交给校园注册主任。

In the event that an invalid check charge has been posted to and remains on the student’s account, all future payments of tuition and fees must be made by cash, bank money order, bank treasurer’s check, bank certified check, debit card, or credit card. This restriction may be removed if a letter is received from the bank on which the invalid check was drawn indicating that an error on the part of the bank caused the invalid check.

Refund Procedures

A. General

1. Students wishing to withdraw officially from a course or courses should consult with the Office of Admissions and Records on their campus to ensure that required procedures are followed.
2. Students who receive financial aid must inform the Student Financial Aid Office if their withdrawal or change of schedule changes the number of credit hours in which they are enrolled. If they have paid their tuition using financial aid funds, they normally will receive no refund since the amount of the refund will be returned to the appropriate financial aid account.
3. The effective date for the calculation of a refund will be the date that the student successfully drops the class via the web or the date that notification is received in the respective campus Office of Admissions and Records. Except in cases where courses are administratively cancelled, no refund will be made unless the student officially withdraws by the posted deadline.

B. Administrative Cancellation

1. 当课程被学院行政取消时，学生若不补上被取消的课程，可以全额退还已支付的学费和其他费用。
2. Students enrolled in courses that are cancelled by the College are not required to withdraw officially from the courses, as they are required to do in the case of student-initiated withdrawals, either voluntary or involuntary. Appropriate adjustments, including refunds, will be made to their accounts.

C. Involuntary Withdrawal

1. 在大多数情况下，因非自愿退课而产生的退款将根据预定的班级会议总数和过期的班级会议总数按比例分配。退款仅以学费为基础，不包括其他费用。所有费用必须在收到学费退款之前支付。但是，对于因相关部队调动而被征召到现役或被调任的军人，只要提供适当的文件，就可以全额退还撤回生效日期所在学期的学费和其他费用。如需更多信息，请与招生和记录办公室联系。
   
   为了符合以下条件下的退款资格，学生必须向招生和记录办公室提交所需的退课通知表格和适当的证明数据来支持这样的退课。

D. Voluntary Withdrawal

Voluntary withdrawal is one that results from causes other than those defined above as involuntary. Applicable tuition is refundable only after the student has paid all fees. The College must meet its responsibilities and commitments for faculty, staff, equipment, and supplies based on original registration data. However, the Board of Trustees recognizes that there may be occasions when students have made commitments by registering but, for some personal reason, must of their own volition withdraw during the semester.

Students who officially withdraw by the published deadline date of a course (or courses) are eligible to receive a refund of 100 percent of tuition and fees for the course(s) from which they are withdrawing. The deadline for eligibility for a refund is shown for each course section on the student schedule/invoice.

Students who withdraw from a course (or courses) after the published deadline date of the course(s) are not eligible to receive a refund for that course or courses.

E. Appeals of Refund Decisions

Appeals for exception to the established refund policy, as detailed above, may be made to the assistant director of enrollment services/college registrar or designee by completing a refund appeal form. This form is available in the Office of Admissions and Records located on each campus.Note: Appeals will not be considered if entered more than 45 days after the close of the semester for which the student is claiming a refund. Campus academic appeals committees hear appeals on academic matters and have no authority to authorize refunds.
