9.2 Entering Residency

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for entering residency data in ctcLink.

Audience: College staff responsible for maintaining student information

Entering Residency

Navigation:  NavBar > Navigator > Campus Community > Personal Information (Student) > Identification (Student) > Residency Data

It is necessary to add a new row to enter a new Effective Term for a student's Official Residency Data. For example, if an OS student's residency questionnaire was approved, add a new row with the new effective term, and change the residency determination to In-State. 

The student's tuition will need to be recalculated if a residency change was made to a previous term. You can contact Student Financials if you do not have the security required to calculate tuition.  

NOTE: Ramifications to changing residency, particularly with correct history, can adversely affect the students' calculated tuition.

Additional Residency Data

There are specific procedures to follow in the event of an exception.  For example, the student is a non-resident. However, they meet requirements for a residency classification; therefore, we want to charge resident tuition rates as an exception (e.g., Active Duty Military and Dependent, Border County).

What does the notify button do? I am in the admissions department at SCC, and was wondering if there was an easy way to notify students that they are coded as out of state, or undetermined. Can I do this by clicking that notify button?

Tanjagay Martin

Hello Margaret, The "Notify" feature is available. In light of this, you cannot track notifications, and due to the nature of residency, you will want to ensure that the student reads the notification. Message Center is a secure way to send information regarding residency, and you can verify if the student viewed the message. Here is a link to the 9.2 Message Overview Video https://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79552/l/1554380-9-2-message-center-overview-video. Thank you for the great question! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
