Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rule 21.25 requires each student applying to enroll at an institution to respond to a set of core residency questions for the purpose of determining the student’s eligibility for classification as a resident. This information will not be processed unless a current application for admission is on file. Non-resident students currently enrolled may also use this form to apply for consideration for reclassification to Texas resident for tuition purposes. Requests for reclassification must be received prior to the official census date of the term for which you are requesting reclassification. That date is the twelfth class day of fall and spring semesters and the fourth class day of summer terms.

Resident status for tuition purposes in the State of Texas is governed by the Texas Education Code, Section 54.052 through 54.064 and rules and regulations promulgated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Failure to provide complete and accurate information, supporting documents, and appropriate signatures will delay processing and may result in denial of your application for residency.
