Distance Learners

A bona fide Texas resident located out-of-state or out-of-country and who is enrolled in an online course offered from the Central Campus may be classified as a resident for tuition purposes. The student must provide substantiating documentation that he or she has a right to resident classification. For example, a spouse or dependent child of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces who was a Texas resident at the time he or she joined the service and has maintained Texas as his or her domicile may be eligible to be classified as a resident for tuition purposes. The spouse or dependent children of military Texas residents should submit a completed CTC Active Duty Military ID Card Verification form, their sponsor’s leave and earning statement (LES), and if applicable the sponsor’s DD 214 showing Texas as the home of record. The LES must be 12 months prior to the census date of the semester in which the student enrolls.
