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.
