Relating to providing information to undergraduate students regarding certain fixed or flat tuition rates provided by certain public institutions of higher education.
SB 1162 requires Texas public institutions of higher education offering flat-rate tuition plans to clearly explain how these plans affect students' cost per credit hour. It mandates that schools provide this information to entering and transferring undergraduate students at enrollment time, in registration materials, on their websites, and in financial aid communications. The bill specifies that institutions must detail the current flat tuition rate and show exactly how much tuition a student would pay for different course loads under the plan. This applies to institutions with fixed or flat-rate tuition programs, directly affecting undergraduate students enrolled in such plans. The requirement aims to increase transparency about tuition costs without changing the actual rates or financial obligations.
