Residency Information and Requirements

printer Printer Friendly Version


Students are classified as Texas residents or non-Texas residents for the purpose of assessing tuition and fees.  Texas residents must be further classified as either in-district or out-of-district residents.

Texas Resident.  In general, an adult who has resided continuously within the State of Texas for twelve months prior to his/her original registration.  Or, if a minor, one whose parent(s) or legal guardian meets this qualification.  Additional conditions apply in some situations.

Non-Resident.  A student who does not qualify as a Texas resident.

In-District Resident.  In general, an adult who as a Texas resident has resided continuously within, and paid property taxes to, the Wharton County Junior College District (Wharton County and the Needville Independent School District) for six months prior to his/her original registration, or if a minor, one whose parent(s) or legal guardian meets this qualification.  Occasionally, in fringe areas, the question of residency will have to be determined by whether or not WCJC taxes are paid on one's home.

Out-of-District Resident.  A Texas resident who does not qualify as an in-district resident.
