Residency Information
Domestic Applicants
- Domestic applicants complete the core residency questions as part of the admission application. Your residency status is determined at that time.
- However, it is possible that your situation may have changed since your application was submitted. You may wish to be considered for residency reclassification. To be considered for residency reclassification, please submit the Residency Questionnaire to graduate.admissions@ttu.edu, in person in Administration Building Room 328, or by mail.
- Please note that you may be asked to provide additional documentation before your residency determination can be made.
International Applicants
- International applicants complete the core residency questions as part of the admissions application; however, there are few visa categories eligible to establish a domicile for residency for tuition purposes.
- You may view a list of visas eligibleto establish a domicile for residency for tuition purposes.
- If your visa category allows you to establish a domicile for residency for tuition purposes, please submit the Residency Questionnaire to graduate.admissions@ttu.edu, in person in Administration Building Room 328, or by mail.
- If you are not a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident but meets eligibility requirements through High school graduation in Texas after 36 months of residence in Texas, you must also complete an affidavit stating an intent to apply for permanent resident status in the U.S as soon as eligible for such status. The Affidavit must be complete, signed, notarized and returned to the University.
Requests for reclassification must be submitted by the tenth class day (the second
class day for summer terms) of the semester for the term for which you are trying
to establish residency. This is because your residency status must be updated by the
twelfth class day (the fourth class day for summer terms) in order for the change
to take effect for that term, and we must have time to review each set of questions.
Questionnaires received after that date will still be reviewed, but any updates to
your residency status will not take effect until the following term.
