Texas Residency Appeals

Residency Appeals

If you have submitted the Residency Core Questionnaire form and have been classified as a non-Texas resident after review of the form, you have the option to appeal your residency determination.

To appeal your determination, you must write a letter stating why you should be considered a Texas resident and provide any additional information to state your case further. Your letter should be addressed to the Residency Appeals Committee. The committee will review the information you submit and make a determination; the decision of the Residency Appeals Committee is final. Request for review or reclassification of residency status must be made prior to the second census date.  Please visit the Important Institutional Deadline page for second census dates related to your program. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center residency officials abide by Texas statutes and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules and regulations when making residency determinations.
