Excessive Hours

Students should take care when selecting additional courses to be

transferred toward a Baccalaureate degree. House Bill 1172 allows
an institution to charge the equivalent of out of state tuition
for credit hours taken beyond the state limits. State limits are:
For students entering public Texas institutions Fall 1999 - Summer
2006 who attempt 45 hours beyond what is required for
Baccalaureate degree (120 hours). For students entering
Fall 2006 and thereafter who attempt 30 hours beyond
the hours required for a Baccalaureate degree. It
is recommended that students take minimal hours beyond
degree requirements to avoid possible higher tuition charges at
the institution to which they are transferring.

This degree plan will constitute a 60-semester-credit-hour

transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university.
