Determining Residence Status
The Central Texas College Admissions Office is responsible for determining residency status of students for tuition purposes.
The office is directed by state statutes and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Rules and Regulations: Determining
Residence Status. All rules and regulations are subject to change. Under state statutes and regulations a prospective student
is classified as a resident, nonresident, or foreign student. Although state requirements for establishing residency are complex
and prospective students should refer to their particular circumstance, most individuals must meet the following residency
requirements before they can be considered residents for tuition purposes.
• Established a domicile in Texas not later than one year before the census date of the intended term of enrollment and
maintained the domicile continuously for the year preceding the census date. This requirement applies to the student if he or
she is independent or for the parent if the student is a dependent.
• Graduated from a public or private high school in Texas or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in this state;
and maintained a residence continuously in Texas (a) for three years preceding the date of graduation or receipt of diploma
equivalent, and (b) the year preceding the census date of the intended term of enrollment.
The domicile of a dependent’s parent is presumed to be the domicile of the dependent unless the person establishes eligibility for
residency under Item 2 above.
Resident
A resident is an individual who is a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident of the United States, or eligible nonimmigrant whose visa
allows him or her to domicile in the United States, or other non-U.S. citizens who meet the residency requirements outlined in the
Rules and Regulations for Determining Residence Status and have otherwise met the state requirements for establishing residency
for tuition purposes.
