How do I prove my residency?

Residency Proof must be provided prior to the start of the semester. Ensuring you’re paying the lowest maintenance fee possible is as easy as showing your driver’s license and, completing the NameAddressChange form which must be returned to Enrollment Services in addition to the proof of residency. If you don’t have a Missouri driver’s license, but live in our district, you can also prove residency with a:

• Property tax receipt for either personal property or real estate
• One-year lease in your name, or the name of the parent or guardian you live with
• Copy of your federal tax return (form 1040)
