Universal Citation: 19 TX Admin Code § 4.59

Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) An institution shall determine when a student is ready to perform entry-level freshman coursework using:

(1) Developmental education coursework and/or intervention learning outcomes developed by the Board based on the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards;

(2) Student performance on one or more appropriate assessments, including scores resulting from a student's retaking of the TSI Assessment; and

(3) Student qualification for one or more TSI exemptions as outlined in § 4.54 of this title (relating to Exemptions, Exceptions, and Waivers).

(b) An institution may enroll a non-exempt, undergraduate student who has not met the college readiness standard on the TSI Assessment in an entry-level freshman course if the student is co-enrolled in developmental education, as defined in § 4.53(7) of this title (relating to Definitions). Successful completion of the entry-level freshman course is demonstration of the student's college readiness, independent of his/her performance in co-enrolled developmental education.

(1) Performance in developmental education.

(2) Performance in appropriate non-developmental coursework, including successfully completed college-level coursework in a related field using AP scores, IB scores, CLEP scores, and/or grades earned through dual credit, as determined by the receiving institution.

(d) A student may retake an assessment instrument at any time, subject to availability, to determine the student's readiness to perform entry-level freshman coursework.

(e) An institution shall, as soon as practicable and feasible, indicate a student's readiness in reading, mathematics, and writing on the transcript of each student. Student readiness in mathematics is indicated as either:

(1) ready for any entry-level freshman mathematics coursework; or

(2) ready only for non-Algebra intensive courses, including MATH 1332/1342/1442 (or their local equivalent).
