COURSE REPEAT FEE

The Texas Legislature has eliminated funding to higher education for courses that are attempted three or more times. An attempted course is defined as any course in which a grade is earned on the transcript, including repeated courses and courses dropped with a grade of “W.”  

In order to compensate for this loss of state funding, students attempting a course for the third or more time will be charged at a rate of three times the regular tuition per semester credit hour for each repeated course. The amount is subject to change each year upon action of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. This rate will be assessed for courses attempted at Ranger College as of the fall semester 2002 or later. This assessment does not include courses attempted at other colleges.  

EDUCATIONAL SERVICE FEE

● VN and ADN: $10.00 per semester hour

● EMS: $80.00 per semester hour
