The Texas Education Code authorizes tuition rebates for students who complete baccalaureate degrees with no more than three credits in excess of those required for their degrees.

Eligible students must meet all four requirements:

1. Must have enrolled for the first time in an institution of higher education in Fall 1997 or later.
2. Must be requesting a rebate for work related to a first baccalaureate degree received from a Texas public university.
3. Must have been a resident of Texas, must have attempted all course work at a Texas public institution of higher education and have been entitled to pay resident tuition at all times while pursuing the degree.
4. Must have attempted no more than three hours in excess of the minimum number of semester credit hours required to complete the degree under the catalog which they were graduated. Hours attempted include transfer credits, course credit earned by examination, courses that are dropped after the official census date, for credit developmental courses, optional internship and cooperative education courses and repeated courses. Courses dropped for reasons that are determined by the institution to be totally beyond the control of the student shall not be counted.
