 4.  Submit, PRIOR to enrollment, official proof of your TSI Status: either official THEA scores or an official college transcript bearing THEA scores. Want to know more information about THEA? Are you transferring from an out of state or private college? Here is a list of classes that we will accept for TSI (reading, Writing and Math)

They do this by completing the NCTC Residency Questionnaire and signing an Oath of Residency within the application. To claim Texas residency for tuition purposes, you must have resided in Texas for the previous 12 months, and you must have moved to Texas for reasons other than education.
