Residency Status
Under Texas state law, students are classified either as residents of Texas, non-residents, or international students. Additionally, students are classified as in-district or out-of-district depending on whether they reside at an address that is in the Blinn taxing district. The tuition rate that you are charged is based on your residency classification, which is determined according to the information you submit on the application. You must provide proof to change your classification.
Residency Classifications
In-District
A Texas resident who resides, pays taxes, or owns property in Washington County for the past six consecutive months prior to registering for the semester they wish to attend.

Out-of-State Waiver
