How Residency is Determined
The amount of tuition you are charged is based on your residency classification, which is determined according to the information you submit on your admissions application.
How to Look up Residency Classification
When you log in to your My Eagle Student Account, your residency classification (in-district, out-of-district or out-of-state) will be displayed on the Financial Account Tile. Your residency classification is based on rules and regulations established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
How to Request Change to Residency Classification
You will need to complete a Change of Residency Petition and provide additional specific documentation to provide evidence of domicile and 12 months physical presence in Texas for the 12 months prior to the Official Date of Record for the semester you are enrolled.
All requests to update resident status, including supporting documentation, must be received prior to the census date of the semester. Changes to residency after the census date will not be applied until the next semester. If you have questions about residency, please contact the Enrollment Services Office.
