Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1419 amends the Education Code to prohibit public colleges and universities from admitting any student on an athletic scholarship unless the student meets certain academic standards. If the college or university requires a minimum high school grade point average (GPA) as an admissions criterion for any entering freshman, that minimum GPA requirement applies to all entering freshmen; an applicant other than an entering freshman must have attained a cumulative college-level GPA equal to or greater than the minimum cumulative college GPA required for an undergraduate to remain enrolled at the institution in the preceding year.
