What can establish Texas residency for tuition?
| Possible pathway | What the university reviews |
|---|---|
| Independent student | Texas residence and domicile for at least 12 consecutive months, plus the applicable status and documentation requirements. |
| Dependent student | An eligible parent or guardian’s Texas residence and domicile for at least 12 consecutive months, plus the applicable status requirements. |
| Texas high school graduate or equivalent | The separate Texas residence tests for the 36 months immediately before graduation and the 12 months before the term census date. |
Open the university’s residency pathways for the documents and status criteria for your case, including the military pathway.
How do I ask for a residency review?
Use Aggie One Stop’s reclassification instructions to get the Core Residency Questions form and document checklist. Current students submit to the residency team listed on the university page. New applicants and admits submit through the Applicant Information System.
Spring 2027’s College Station census date is February 3, according to the university academic calendar. The university considers submissions made after census for a later term.
What should you budget while the request is pending?
Use your current tuition classification when you plan your bill. Ask the university residency team which documents establish domicile for your situation. The university has separate criteria for nonresident tuition waivers.
