§ 54.056. ERRORS IN CLASSIFICATION. (a) If an
institution of higher education erroneously classifies a person as
a resident of this state and the person is not entitled or permitted
to pay resident tuition under this subchapter, the institution of
higher education shall charge nonresident tuition to the person
beginning with the first academic term that begins after the date
the institution discovers the error. Not earlier than the first day
of that term, regardless of whether the person is still enrolled at
the institution, the institution may request the person to pay the
difference between resident and nonresident tuition for an earlier
term as permitted by Section 54.057. For nonpayment of the amount
owed, the institution may impose sanctions only as provided by that
section. The institution may not require payment as a condition for
any subsequent enrollment by the person in the institution.
(b) Regardless of the reason for the error, if an
institution of higher education erroneously classifies a person as
a nonresident of this state, the institution shall charge resident
tuition to the person beginning with the academic term in which the
institution discovers the error. The institution immediately shall
refund to the person the amount of tuition the person paid in excess
of resident tuition.
