Senate Bill 176 |
Senate Author: Huffman |

Effective: 6-17-11 |
House Sponsor: Branch |
Under current law, a student is eligible for a rebate of a portion of the undergraduate tuition the student has paid if the student receives a bachelor's degree within a specified period and has attempted no more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree program. That law specifies the types of credit that are to be included or excluded in the computation of the number of hours the student has attempted for purposes of determining the student's eligibility for such a tuition rebate. Senate Bill 176 amends the Education Code to exclude course credit, other than course credit earned exclusively by examination, that is earned before graduating from high school from the computation of the number of hours attempted for purposes of determining a student's eligibility for a tuition rebate.
