1. (a) Authority. Authority for this section is Texas Education Code, §54.014, Tuition for Repeated or Excessive Undergraduate Hours.
2. (b) Repeated Hours. Unless the hours are exempted under §13.106 of this chapter (relating to Exemptions for Repeated Hours for Attempted Courses), an institution may charge a higher tuition rate, not to exceed the rate charged to nonresident undergraduate students, to a student who enrolls in a course he or she has already completed, regardless of whether the hours may be submitted for formula funding.
3. (c) If an institution charges a higher tuition rate under this section, it shall adopt a policy under which a student is exempted from the payment of that higher tuition rate if payment of the higher tuition rate would result in an economic hardship for the student.
4. (d) An institution shall exempt a student from payment of higher tuition for any course repeated in the final semester or term before graduation if the course(s) is taken for the purpose of receiving a grade that will satisfy a degree requirement. This exemption applies for only one semester. The exemption does not affect an institution's ability to charge a higher tuition rate for courses that cannot be reported for funding for other reasons such as the excess credit hour limit, or an institution's ability to waive higher tuition rates for economic hardship.
