In-District and Out-of-District Classification
Students qualifying for New Mexico residency status for tuition purposes are classified as in-district or out-of-district based on whether their permanent physical address is in the CNM tax district. The CNM tax district boundary through Fall 2007 was the original Albuquerque Public Schools District in Bernalillo County and Rio Rancho south of Northern Boulevard. The CNM tax district was expanded starting in Spring 2008 term to include all of Rio Rancho. Post Office boxes are not eligible for in-district classification.
