Texas HB771 establishes a single common course numbering system for public institutions of higher education to facilitate course credit transfer.

Texas HB771 amends the Education Code to create a single common course numbering system for public institutions of higher education. This system aims to facilitate the transfer of course credits by ensuring consistency in course designation and identification. Certain courses, such as those in career and technical education, applied performing arts, clinical coursework, skill-related courses, graduate courses, and special topics, are exempt from this system. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must approve this numbering system and may only approve a system already in common use.
