Tuition Charges for Excess Credit Hours
An institution of higher education may charge a higher tuition rate to an undergraduate student who has previously attempted 45 or more semester credit hours, or its quarter hour equivalent, beyond the minimum number of hours required for completion of the degree program in which the student is enrolled. The purpose of Texas Education Code, Sections 54.068 and 61.0595, is to provide incentives for institutions and students to complete their degree programs expeditiously.
