Appeals due to economic hardship are permitted under defined institutional policy. Texas State has determined that students who are eligible for financial aid under the Federal Pell Grant (Pell) program will be exempted from the non-resident tuition if, at the time of registration, their Pell eligibility is documented in the financial aid system at Texas State. Students who become Pell eligible during the semester in which they are charged the non-resident tuition may submit eligibility documents to the Student Business Services office no later than the official last class day of the semester in which the appeal is being requested.
