Thank you again, @SenLarryTaylor for your support of #SB1324! #DualCredit students will file a degree plan w/ the college after a cumulative total of 15 SCHs. This helps the state meet #60x30TX goals, saves students time & money & shortens their time to graduation. #txlege

Diverse students are the fastest growing demographic in the U.S. and we believe #TXcommunitycolleges provide pathways for all Texans to advance to the next level. We are accessible, affordable and relevant. #WeServeAllTexans #60x30TX #txlege

We believe #dualcreditworks & #TXcommunitycolleges enroll more than 92% of all dual credit students in Texas. If you'd like to learn more about why we support the establishment of a statewide goal for participation, check out some quick facts below! THREAD:
