In-State Tuition
Rate Limited for New Undergraduates
45 Plus Hour Rule
(Previously the 170 Hour Rule)
Senate Bill 345, the 45 Plus Hour Rule, stipulates that a student taking
more than 45 hours over the minimum required for their undergraduate
degree will be required to pay tuition at a rate higher than the rate
charged for regular resident undergraduate tuition.
| Important: The 45
Plus Hour Rule does not apply to a student who initially enrolled as
an undergraduate student in an institution of higher education
before the Fall 1999 Semester. |
The Bill states, "The
board may not include funding for semester credit hours earned by a
resident undergraduate student who before the semester or other academic
session begins has previously attempted a number of semester credit hours
for courses taken at any institution of higher education while classified
as a resident student for tuition purposes that exceeds by at least 45
hours the number of semester credit hours required for completion of the
degree program in which the student is enrolled."
The Bill excludes the
following:
-
Hours earned by the
student before receiving a baccalaureate degree that has previously
been awarded to the student.
-
Hours earned by the
student by examination or under any other procedure by which credit is
earned without registering for a course for which tuition is charged.
-
Credit for a remedial
education course, a technical course, a workforce education course
funded according to contact hours, or another course that does not
count toward a degree program at the institution.
-
Hours earned at a private
institution or an out-of-state institution.
30 Plus Hour Rule
New undergraduate students enrolling in an institution of higher
education in Fall 2006 or afterward are subject to the conditions
of House Bill 1172 passed in the 79th Legislative Session. This law
states that a resident undergraduate student (one who pays in-state
tuition) whose attempted semester hours exceeds by at least 30 hours the
number required for completion of the degree program may be charged
tuition at a higher rate.
The higher rate will not exceed the rate charged to non-resident
undergraduate students.
