1-27 Sec. 51.929. NATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM. (a) In

1-29 (1) "General academic teaching institution" has the

1-44 participation in the program.
1-45 (e) A student participating in the program from another

1-49 (f) A student may not participate in the program for more

1-56 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
