(a) If an institution erroneously classified a person as a Texas resident and the person is not entitled or permitted to pay resident tuition, liability for payment of nonresident tuition is as outlined in this subchapter:
- (1) the institution shall charge nonresident tuition to the person beginning with the first academic term that begins after the date the institution discovers the error; and
- (2) the person is liable for the difference between resident and nonresident tuition for each academic term in which the person paid resident tuition as a result of the error in classification.
- (b) Liability is Limited. An institution is limited to the provisions outlined in §13.200 of this subchapter (relating to Liability for Errors in Classification) for the sanction of a student based on unpaid tuition owed by a person due to errors in classification for nonresident tuition.
- (c) Regardless of whether the person is still enrolled at the institution, not earlier than the first day of the academic term that begins after the date the institution discovers the error, the institution may request the person to pay the difference between resident and nonresident tuition.
