HB 1997: Higher edu overenrollment

Assisting institutions of higher education in managing overenrollment.

Summary

Makes certain criteria for determining whether a student is eligible to pay in-state tuition at public institutions of higher education more strict.
Establishes a tuition surcharge based on the full cost of instruction for certain undergraduate students: those with excess credits, those who enroll as full time but drop during a quarter or semester to less than full-time status, and those on continued academic probation. Certain types of credits are exempted and students may petition for a hardship waiver.
