Permanent Residents, Asylees, Refugees, and Applicants on Non-Student Visas

Permanent residents, asylees, refugees, and applicants on non-student visas should complete the following admission steps:

1. Complete the general credit online application. Please contact admissions@pgcc.edu for assistance with the process.

2. Submit the following documents in order to be considered for in-county or in-state tuition rates*:

• Employment Authorization Documentation (EAD) or Permanent Resident Card (green card)
• Proof of in-county or in-state residency from the following list:
  • Maryland driver’s license, learner’s permit, or state identification card
  • Lease or deed
  • Tax returns
  • Voter registration card
  • Vehicle registration.

Upon receipt and review of these documents, the residency status will be valid until the expiration date listed on the EAD or Permanent Resident card or the in-state/in-county proof of residency, whichever is earlier. Once this period has passed, students will need to provide updated documentation to extend their residency status. Please view the Residency Information page for more information.

*Please note that not all visa statuses qualify for in-county or in-state tuition rates. Please contact registrar@pgcc.edu for assistance in determining your residency status for tuition purposes.
