Bill Caption

Relating to providing information to undergraduate students regarding certain fixed or flat tuition rates provided by certain institutions of higher education.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 1193 would require any general academic teaching institution that offers a fixed tuition rate program, and an institution that offers a flat rate program, to provide information explaining the effect of the program on the calculation of a student’s cost per credit hour, clearly describing the amount of tuition a student would pay for varying course loads covered by the program.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action supports SB 1193 on the principle of individual liberty. Equipping students with this information greatly aids their decision making process in choosing what courses to take and helps them better understand the costs of the program they are enrolled in or are considering enrolling in.
