Senate Bill 1531 amends the Education Code to lower the threshold for excessive undergraduate credit hours for a student enrolled in an associate degree program from 30 credit hours in excess of the total number required for the student's degree program to 15 credit hours in excess of that required total. A public institution of higher education may charge a resident student tuition at a rate higher than the standard resident tuition rate for credit hours that exceed the threshold. The bill establishes that a student not enrolled in a degree program is considered to be enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program for purposes of determining excessive credit hours.
