§ 54.011. TUITION LIMIT IN CASES OF CONCURRENT
ENROLLMENT. When a student registers at more than one public
institution of higher education at the same time, his tuition
charges shall be determined in the following manner:
(1) The student shall pay the full tuition charge to
the first institution at which he is registered; and in any event
he shall pay an amount at least equal to the minimum tuition
specified in this code.
(2) If the minimum tuition specified in this code for
the first institution at which the student is registered is equal to
or greater than the minimum tuition specified in this code for the
second institution at which the student is registered concurrently,
the student shall not be required to pay the specified minimum
tuition charge to the second institution in addition to the tuition
charge paid to the first institution, but shall pay only the hourly
rates, as provided in this code, to the second institution.
(3) If the minimum tuition specified in this code for
the first institution at which the student is registered is less
than the specified minimum tuition charge at the second institution
(that is, if the second institution has a higher minimum tuition
charge specified in this code), then the student shall first
register at the institution having the lower minimum tuition and
shall pay to the second institution only the amount equal to the
difference between his total tuition charge at the second
institution and his total tuition charge at the first institution,
but in no case shall the student pay to the second institution less
than the hourly rates as provided in this code.
(4) If a student is considered to be a Texas resident
and therefore qualified to pay Texas resident tuition rates by one
institution at which he is registered, that student shall be
considered a Texas resident at each of the institutions at which he
is concurrently registered for the purposes of determining the
proper tuition charges. Nothing in this subdivision shall be so
construed as to allow a nonresident to pay resident tuition except
at institutions covered by Section 54.060 of this code.
