Verification of Lawful Presence

To comply with state law, PCC students seeking in-state tuition must complete a one-time Verification of Lawful Presence Form. Once completed, you won't need to file again while at Pima.

All new and continuing students seeking in-state tuition and registering for credit classes must complete the form and provide documentation.

You will have 10 days from the first day of admission to complete the Verification of Lawful Presence form.  If you do not complete and submit the form within this time period a hold will be placed on your record.  You will not be able to view your grades or receive a transcript until the form is processed.

Completing the form

• Print the Verification of Lawful Presence Form, fill it out and sign the document. 
• Read these additional instructions.
