HB1078

Provides relative to tuition and fees for certain distance education courses

Complete·5/22/26

Louisiana HB1078 authorizes tuition and fees for distance education courses at public postsecondary institutions.

Louisiana HB1078 amends existing law to authorize public postsecondary education management boards to impose tuition and attendance fees for students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or professional courses offered entirely through distance education. This applies to part-time students and summer sessions, as well as other academic periods. The law specifies that these provisions apply when the distance education program is comparable to a traditional in-person classroom instruction.
