- In person at the Enrollment Services Desk in Building I or;

What to Expect During a Residency Appointment
The primary role of the Residency officers is to determine whether students have demonstrated that they have met the requirements to be classified as a Washington State resident for tuition purposes. Information and clarifications are provided about how the requirements and processes for students to demonstrate their residency may apply to particularly complicated circumstances.
Residency Officers during an appointment cannot tell students how to become a resident, make a residency determination, or project the outcome of a residency application during an appointment.
Parents and Relatives
The Residency Officers will not discuss a student’s residency status or application with anyone other than the student unless there is a FERPA form on file for the other individual. Please have the student email residency@rtc.edu or schedule an appointment with questions.
