Senate Bill 1324 amends the Education Code to require a student who is enrolled in a course for joint high school and junior college credit at a public junior college to file a degree plan with the college within a specified time period after the student earns a cumulative total of 15 or more semester credit hours if the student is not subject to certain degree plan requirements for a student enrolled in an associate or bachelor's degree program. The bill revises degree plan requirements for a multidisciplinary studies associate degree program to conform to requirements for other associate degree programs. The bill changes the authorization for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to adopt rules regarding the required filing of a degree plan to a requirement and specifies that the rules must include certain reporting requirements for public institutions of higher education.
