(a)The Coordinating Board will maintain a database indicating the number of hours an eligible undergraduate student has accumulated toward the limit. Institutions are required to report to the Coordinating Board all information required to comply with the Texas Education Code, §§54.060 and 61.0595, to check every term on the progress of eligible students toward the limit, and to cooperate with the Coordinating Board in the administration of the limit. (b)Each community and technical college, Lamar state college, university, and health-related institution shall publish in its catalog information about the limit on undergraduate credit hours. Until this material is included in catalogs, each institution shall inform undergraduate students initially enrolling at the institution in writing of the limit. (c)Community and technical colleges and the Lamar state colleges shall inform each affected undergraduate student of the individual's progress toward the limit when the student has accumulated 70 or more semester credit hours toward the limit. (d)Universities and health-related institutions shall inform each affected undergraduate student of the individual's progress toward the limit and of the institution's tuition policy for students who exceed the limit as soon as the student has accumulated 120 or more semester credit hours toward the limit.
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
