November Policy of the Month: Excessive Hours

Tuition for Excessive Undergraduate Hours

Texas Education Code §54.014 specifies that resident undergraduate students may be subject to a higher tuition rate for attempting excessive hours at any public institution of higher education while classified as a resi­dent student for tuition purposes. Texas State students attempt­ing hours in excess of their degree program requirements will be charged at the non-resident tuition rate for those hours, and those students are categorized as follows:

 
1. Students initially enrolled during or after the fall 2006 semes­ter will be charged at the non-resident rate if, prior to the start of the semester or session, the student has previously attempted 30 or more hours over the minimum number of semester credit hours required for completion of the degree program (150 hours) in which the student is enrolled.

 
2. Students initially enrolled during the fall 1999 through sum­mer 2006 semesters will be charged at the non-resident rate if, prior to the start of the semester or session, the student has previously attempted 45 or more hours over the minimum number of semester credit hours required for completion of the degree program (165 hours) in which the student is enrolled.



To read the policy in full detail, you can find more information on page 25 of the 2014-2016 Undergraduate Catalog
