The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (Board) adopts amendments to Chapter 4, Subchapter B, §4.32, concerning students enrolled at more than one institution, and §4.33, concerning the review schedules for Field of Study curricula, without changes to the proposed text as published in the January 25, 2019, issue of the Texas Register (44 TexReg 387). The amendments will not be re-published.

The amendments eliminate a contradiction in the two sections about the scheduling of compliance reports. Section 4.32(f) required a report every ten years, and §4.33 required a report every five years. Section 4.32(f) is repealed in the proposed changes and §4.33 is clarified to state that the compliance report shall follow the same schedule as accreditation reports. Section 4.33(c) is added to establish a review schedule for updating existing Fields of Study.

No comments were received regarding these amendments.

The amendments are adopted under the Texas Government Code, Chapter 61, §61.823(e), which provides the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board the authority to periodically review Field of Study curricula.
