| (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.
(c) As indicators of readiness, institutions shall
consider, as appropriate:
(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).
