CSN Residency Application Form PDF Details

The CSN Residency Application form is the official document for College of Southern Nevada students requesting Nevada resident classification for in-state tuition purposes under NSHE rules. Filing with accurate information and supporting documentation is the first step toward qualifying for reduced tuition rates.

Who qualifies for Nevada in-state tuition at CSN

To qualify as a Nevada resident, an applicant must have established a domicile in Nevada for at least 12 consecutive months before the first day of the semester. Financially dependent students may qualify through a parent or legal guardian who meets this requirement. Active-duty military members stationed in Nevada and their families may qualify under separate NSHE guidelines. Any previous domicile outside Nevada must be abandoned to be eligible.

Required documentation for your residency application

All applicants must provide copies of documents proving 12 months of Nevada residency prior to enrollment. Acceptable documents include a Nevada driver's license or state ID, federal or state tax returns with a Nevada address, a lease or rental agreement, utility bills showing a Nevada address, and a birth certificate if applying as a financially dependent student. Submitted documents become property of CSN, so keep copies before submitting.

Residency decisions are communicated by email, and the classification applies to all subsequent semesters once granted. Decisions are not retroactive to prior terms. Students must pay tuition by published deadlines to avoid penalties. Submitting false information on the form carries serious consequences under NSHE policy.

You may also need the general residency application form for other Nevada institutions, or the Nevada DMV form to obtain a Nevada driver's license for documentation purposes. Browse our college application forms collection for other related documents.
