Veteran Certification
Veterans who are eligible for educational benefits under Section 54.203, Texas Education Code or under Chapters 32, 34 and 35, Title 38, U. S. Code may obtain general information about such benefits and may apply for such assistance through their nearest Veterans Administration Office. The graduate student who has made such application and is eligible for veteran's benefits should contact the Registrar's Office for assistance with certification of enrollment for educational benefits. Referrals are also made to the Veteran's Administration Regional Office in Waco, Texas.

Residency
By state law, any student who has not resided in Texas for the 12 months preceding university registration is classified as a non-resident. Rules and regulations regarding resident classification status that affect tuition rates and fees are available in the Office of Admissions. Teaching or research assistantships, competitive scholarships, death, divorce, child custody, or active military service may affect or change residency status. Thus, entering students, especially international students, need to understand or seek a clarification of their status immediately through the Office of Admissions. Moreover, students should remain aware that their residency situation may change during their time at the university which may entitle them to a different tuition and fee schedule.

Housing
The Housing Department offers both residence halls and apartments. Graduate students must enroll for nine hours during the fall and spring semesters to be eligible for on-campus housing. Meal plans are available for students living on and off campus. For the latest on housing costs, availability, and application information, contact the Housing Department. Students choosing to live off campus may contact the Nacogdoches Chamber of Commerce.

Parking
All vehicles used on campus by faculty, staff and students must be registered with the University Police Department and display official registration permits. Application forms for parking permits are available as are all regulations and policies governing violations and fines. Parking without a proper permit or a visitor's pass may result in fine, wheel lock or impoundment. A student who receives a parking ticket may appeal to the Student Traffic Appeals Board within seven working days of the citation. Appeal application forms are available through the University Police Department.
