Tuition Waivers
Students who do not meet criteria for establishing residency for tuition purposes may still be eligible to pay tuition that is equivalent to the in-state tuition rate if they meet qualifications for a tuition waiver. Please see the tuition waivers and exemptions page in the catalog for more information.
ROTC Non-Resident Tuition Waiver
Effective for the fall 2025 semester, under the Texas Education Code, Section 54.224 statute:
“A person enrolled at an institution of higher education is entitled to pay tuition and fees at the rates provided for Texas residents if the person is enrolled and in good standing in a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program.”
If you are currently classified as a non-Texas resident and meet the criteria above, you may be eligible to pay in-state tuition. To be considered, please submit the ROTC Non-Resident Tuition Waiver Request form. The request form will automatically route through your ROTC chain of command for verification of your ROTC enrollment status and then to the Residency Office for processing and determination.
