Ad Valorem Waivers

Students who reside outside the Collin County Community College District but own property in Collin County that is subject to ad valorem taxation by the district may be eligible to pay tuition at the in-district rate through an ad valorem waiver per TEC 130.0032 (a) and Collin College board policy. A copy of the property deed or the most recent property tax statement is required for verification.

Students who establish Texas residency may no longer qualify for an ad valorem waiver and must provide documentation to establish their residency classification for tuition purposes.

Eligibility for an ad valorem waiver is subject to applicable state and federal law. Property owners on most types of temporary visas are not eligible, and students and/or the qualifying property owner must generally be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

Students can request the ad valorem waiver through their Workday Financials Hub.

Senior Citizens

Students age 65 and older (by the first day of the semester) who are Texas residents are eligible for up to six credit hours of tuition exemption per semester on a space-available basis. Students are responsible for paying all other charges and fees. Contact the Student Financial Services Office to verify senior waiver status each term, prior to payment of tuition and fees.

Students can request the Senior Citizen waiver through their Workday Financials Hub.

Tuition Waivers and Exemptions

Partnering with the State of Texas to ensure affordability of higher education for all students, Collin offers numerous State and Local Board authorized tuition and/or fee exemptions and waivers for eligible students. Eligible students should contact the responsible Collin office to ascertain what documentation is required to prove eligibility. Proof of exemption/waiver eligibility must be provided for each term of attendance at Collin. Excess tuition charges for courses not eligible for state funding are often not included in exemptions. Check with the office responsible for the exemption to determine if the exemption or waiver includes any excess tuition assessment.

An authorized financial aid award showing as Anticipated Payments on the student account covers the balance of the current term, and the noted award of financial assistance holds course enrollment. However, if the financial aid award is for a future term, you will need to pay the amount due for the current term.  

 

Students with accepted financial aid awards authorized on the student account as Anticipated Payments, and with an amount sufficient to cover all tuition and fee charges for the term, do not need to make an additional payment.

 

Certified and accepted financial aid funds are disbursed to the student account after faculty verifies attendance in the course. Account charges are deducted from the financial aid credit after the census date. Any credit balance is refunded to the student within 14 days. 

 

Scholarships listed as a Financial Aid award will be processed as noted above but may be refunded to the student only if authorized by the scholarship donor. Students with scholarship credits on their accounts from an earlier term should verify with Student Financial Services whether those funds may be used for new-term charges.  

 

Students are responsible for:

• fulfilling any financial aid requirements
• maintaining the current enrollment status of courses
• maintaining an accurate course schedule for the term
• paying any balance on the student account not paid in full by financial aid
• verifying with your financial aid advisor that all necessary steps to receive your award have been completed
