Texas Core Residency Questionaire
Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 21, Subchapter B, §21.24 requires students respond to a set of
core residency questions for the purpose of determining the student’s eligibility for classification as a Texas resident
making them eligible to be considered for state financial aid programs. Because Wayland Baptist University being a
private institution, does not offer tuition differential for students classified as Texas residents.
