Section 1 ? F&A-C

Establish FY2015 and FY2016 4-Year Fixed Tuition

House Bill 29

Universities shall offer entering undergraduate students a fixed tuition price plan: ? To begin Fall 2014, may be optional, ? For at least the first 12 consecutive semesters (four academic years), ? Includes undergraduate students who transfer to the institution, ? Subject to restrictions or qualifications adopted by the governing board.

Reasons to Encourage 15 Hours/Semester *

? Taking only 12 credits per term can add a year to a four-year degree. ? Students, parents, and public financial aid programs pay more for more semesters. ? Students lose out on a year or more of employment and income. ? Fewer students can be served with limited capacity--advising, parking, dormitories. ? Dropout rates are higher for students who take fewer credits.
