Abstract
ABSTRACT Several states, including Texas, have implemented an “excess semester credit hours (ESCH)” policy. State ESCH policies assess a fee to students at public institutions when they exceed a set number of lifetime cumulative credit hours (e.g. students with more than the 120 credit hours needed for a bachelor’s degree). In this article, we investigate a case study of Texas public institutions’ communication of state ESCH policies. We analyze 119 documents collected from November 2019 to April 2020 to conduct a deductive content analysis of the websites using the theory of racialized administrative burdens. We did find that institutions frequently attended by students of color, such as two-year institutions and HBCUs, were the least likely to have information about the ESCH policy.
