If you apply to a community college do you have to attend it?

Answer 1

Anyone can attend any community college no matter where they live. However, the tuition rates are different according to where you live. For individuals who live in-county the tuition rate will be the lowest the college charges. For individuals who live out-of county it will be higher (most often double), and for those who live out-of-state, the tuition rate may be even higher depending on the schools tuition policies. In many states, there are programs referred to as Charge-Back Assistance. If your home county community college does not offer the program you want, you can go to another community college that does offer the program, and still pay the in-county tuition rate.

Answer 2

This statement is relevant for California community colleges.

No, you do not have to attend it.

In general, when you APPLY for a college, you have to wait for the school to send you an acceptance or rejection letter. Community colleges accept anyone with any GPA (or no GPA at all) and they never reject people. Unlike universities, such as UCs (University of California), you do not have to send in a SIR (Statement of Intent to Register). Since the school does not have this requirement, you are not obligated to attend.

You are only obligated to attend the school that you've sent in your SIR for.

Does that make any sense? .__.v
