Section 54.2001 Continued Receipt of Exemptions and Waivers has been added to the Texas Education Code and requires The University of Texas at Arlington to comply with the new legislation. Additionally, hours considered excessive under Texas Education Code, Section 54.014 Tuition for Repeated or Excessive Hours, may not be eligible to receive the exemption or waiver.
EXCESSIVE HOURS

- Undergraduate students who enrolled initially in the fall 1999 semester or subsequent semesters cannot exceed more than 45 hours of the number of hours required for completion of the degree plan in which they are enrolled. Any hours beyond 45 are considered excessive and may result in ineligibility to receive the waiver or exemption.
- Undergraduate students who enrolled initially in the fall 2006 semester or subsequent semesters cannot exceed more than 30 hours of the number of hours required for completion of the degree plan in which they are enrolled. Any hours beyond 30 are considered excessive and may result in ineligibility to receive the waiver or exemption.
