TWU POLICY ON REPEATING COURSES
In implementing the General Appropriations Act of
2003, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has established the
following policy. "Public institutions of higher education may not submit
for formula funding credit or contact hours attempted by students who have
enrolled in courses containing the same content for a third or more times at
institutions since September 1, 2002."
Effective with Summer 2004 registration, a student who attempts
a course with the same content more than twice will pay tuition
for that course at the out-of-state rate.
TWU students
affected by this policy are those who register for a course at
TWU which they have already twice attempted at TWU since the
2002 Fall Term. The policy does not apply to courses
taken at other institutions. Students on the Fall or
Spring 12th day rolls or Summer 4th day rolls will be counted as
having attempted the course, even if they later drop the course.
Semester credit
hours or contact hours attempted by students for the following
types of coursework are exempt from the provisions of this
policy:
- thesis and
dissertation courses
- limited to, individual music lessons,
theater practicum, music performance, ensembles, certain
physical education and kinesiology courses, and studio art;
- independent study courses, except when the independent study
course has the same content as a course the student has
already taken two or more times;
- special
topics courses that may be repeated for credit with
different content, except when a special topics course has
the same content as a course the student has already taken
two or more times;
- continuing
education courses that must be repeated to retain
professional certification;
- other
courses which the TWU Catalogs and course inventory
printouts indicate may be repeated for credit.
