At UNT, students who do not yet have their Green card/Permanent Resident status (approved) must apply through International Admissions. International students may be able to qualify as a Texas resident for tuition purposes if they have lived in Texas for a minimum of 12 months under one of the following statuses:

A-1, A-2, A-3, E-1, E-2, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, G-5, H-1B, H-4, I, K-1, K-2, L-1, L-2, NATO 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, O-1, O-3, R-1, R-2, T-1, T-2, V

If you are on one of the statuses listed above and independent for Federal Income Tax purposes OR are claimed as a dependent by a parent who has one of those statuses, you can apply for Texas residency for tuition purposes by filling out a Residency Questionnaire. Completed residency forms and supporting documents must be submitted to International Admissions at least two weeks before the start of the semester you wish to attend.
