The Academic Common Market

The Academic Common Market is an interstate agreement for sharing academic programs through an exchange of students across state lines. There are 14 southern states that take part in the Academic Common Market. Texas and Florida participate at the graduate level only. Selected out-of-state programs which are not offered in a student's home state can be accessed through the Academic Common Market at in-state tuition rates.

For information on the graduate programs at The University of Texas at Arlington which are available through the Academic Common Market and the states that have access to those programs, contact the Office of Research and Graduate Studies or the Academic Common Market coordinator in the home state.

Further information on the Academic Common Market may be obtained from the Texas State Coordinator for the Academic Common Market: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, P.O. Box 12788, Austin, Texas, 78711. Phone: (512) 483-6525

Residency Regulations

Resident classifications are determined in accordance with Subchapter B, Chapter 54, Texas Education Code and the rules of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for determining residence status. Except as specifically provided by law, an individual classified as a nonresident student must pay tuition and fees required of nonresident students.

An independent individual 18 years of age or over who moves to Texas and is gainfully employed in Texas for a period of 12 months prior to enrolling in an institution of higher education is entitled to classification as a resident student unless the individual is in Texas for some purpose other than establishing residence in the state. A student enrolling in an institution of higher education prior to having resided in Texas for 12 months immediately preceding the time of enrollment will be classified as a nonresident student.

The residence of a dependent who is under 18 years old is generally the residence of the parent with whom the individual lives. The residence of a dependent 18 years of age or older is the residence of the parent who claims the individual as a dependent for federal income tax purposes.

After living in Texas for at least 12 months, a nonresident student may be reclassified as a resident student if business and personal facts or actions are unequivocally indicative of a fixed intention to reside permanently in Texas. A nonresident student classification is presumed to be correct as long as the residence of the individual in Texas is primarily for the purpose of attending an educational institution.

Each student claiming resident status must provide documentation to confirm that the student has a legal right to be classified as a resident student. Each student must also affirm under oath that the individual is entitled to be classified as a resident for purposes of tuition. Foreign students living in the United States under a visa permitting permanent residence and aliens who are permitted by Congress to adopt the United States as their domicile while they are in this country, have the same privilege of qualifying for Texas resident status for tuition purposes as do citizens of the United States.

Generally, a student attending The University of Texas at Arlington who is not classified as a resident student will be charged non-resident tuition. Certain nonresident students, however, are entitled to pay tuition and other fees required of Texas residents. For example, military personnel assigned to duty in Texas, and their spouses and dependent children, are entitled to pay the same tuition as a Texas resident if certain documentation is provided. Similarly, students who hold a competitive academic scholarship in the amount of $1,000 per year or more awarded through The University of Texas at Arlington are entitled to pay resident fees and charges. Other exceptions to the requirement that nonresident students pay nonresident tuition and fees are included in the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules for determining residence status.

The responsibility of registering under and maintaining the proper residence classification rests on the student. If there is any question concerning the student's classification at the time of registration, or any time thereafter, it is the student's obligation to consult with the residence advisor in the Graduate School and have the student's classification officially determined. All requests for reclassification should be submitted to the Graduate School at least 30 days prior to the registration period in question.

Residency appeals are to the Residency Appeals Committee. Appeals of the Committee are final.

Audit of Student's Schedule
A computerized audit is made approximately six weeks into the semester which compares a student's schedule and the tuition and fees associated with that schedule to original tuition and fees charged. Residency status and any applicable tuition exceptions are also input items to the audit. Any resulting charges or credits will be added to the student's accounts receivable account. Statements are mailed on the fifth of the month with charges typically due the first of the following month. Accounts receivable refunds are mailed weekly. Students can mail their remittance to a designated address or place it in a secured "drop box" near Bursar Services on the first floor of Davis Hall or the lower level of the University Center. Students wishing to pay by credit card may do so by telephone at 817-272-2726 (SAM). Cash transactions must be made in person at Bursar Services. Please do not mail cash.

In accordance with the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended, all or part of any refund produced for continuing U.T. Arlington students who received financial aid will be returned to the source programs. The portion to be returned will be the lesser of:
a. The total amount of Title IV aid received (excluding Work- Study); or
b. The amount of the refund calculated in Steps 1 or 2 above multiplied by the fraction of total Title IV aid received (excluding Work-Study) divided by total aid received (excluding Work- Study).

7. Student

Dropping Course(s) But Continuing Enrollment
All the additional costs that apply to courses dropped before the Census Date, when the student continues enrollment in other course(s), will be refunded.

Refunds for First-Time Enrollees Receiving Title IV Funds
As an institution participating in programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended, U.T. Arlington is required to refund unearned tuition, fees, room and board, and other charges to students attending the institution for the first time who have received a grant, loan, or work assistance under Title IV of the Act or whose parents have received a loan on their behalf under 20 U.S.C. Section 1087-2. The refund is required if the student does not register for, withdraws from, or otherwise fails to complete the period of enrollment for which the financial assistance was intended. No refund is required if the student withdraws after 60 percent of the period of enrollment for which the charges were assessed has passed. A student who withdraws prior to that time is entitled to a refund of tuition, fees, room and board, and other charges that is the larger of the amount provided for in Section 54.006, Texas Education Code, or a pro rata refund calculated pursuant to Section 484B of the Act. Accordingly, U.T. Arlington will use the pro rata method for determining refunds of tuition and fees based on the following:

The same procedure specified for continuing students will be followed in the disposition of refunds for first-time enrollees as will the priority of distribution.

Payment of Refunds
Refunds cannot be made until a computerized audit of fees has been performed; thus, refunds normally cannot be issued until approximately six weeks after a semester begins. Refunds are credited to the student's accounts receivable account, with any residual mailed to the student's designated mailing address.

Refunds for recipients of certain types of financial aid administered through the University will be applied to the accounts from which the funds were received. In addition, refunds are applied to outstanding bills owed by the student.

Inquiries concerning refunds should be directed to Bursar Services, Room 130, Davis Hall, 817-272-2172.
