Senate Bill 502 amends the Education Code to require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to adopt an electronic common admission application form for use by a person seeking admission as a freshman student to a public junior college, technical institute, or other public institution, other than a four-year university, that admits students as freshmen. The bill allows the board to adopt a printed format version of a form for that same purpose, and it allows the board to adopt an electronic or printed format common admission application form for use by a person seeking admission as an undergraduate transfer student to a public junior college, technical institute, or state college.
The bill also amends the composition of the coordinating board's advisory committee on common admissions applications forms to include representatives of junior college districts, public state colleges, and public technical institutes, and it requires the board to ensure the greatest possible uniformity in the forms it adopts regardless of the type of institution for which the forms are adopted.
