  (6) American History = 060;

  (7) Government/Political science = 070;

  (8) Social and Behavioral Sciences = 080; and

  (9) Component Area Option = 090.

(i) Notice. Each institution must publish and make readily available to students its core curriculum requirements stated in terms consistent with the Texas Common Course Numbering System.

(j) Substitutions and Waivers. No institution or institutional representative may approve course substitutions or waivers of the institution's core curriculum requirements for any currently enrolled student, except as provided in subsection (k) of this section. For students who transfer to a public institution from a college or university that is not a Texas public institution of higher education, courses the student completed prior to admission should be evaluated to determine whether they apply to one of the institution's core curriculum component areas. Only those courses the institution has accepted for transfer that can demonstrate fulfillment of the foundational component area content descriptions, core objectives, and semester credit hours required for the appropriate foundational component area or areas should be applied to the institution's core curriculum.

(k) Accommodations.

  (1) An institution of higher education may, on a case-by-case basis, approve an accommodation of a specific core curriculum foundational component area requirement as described in paragraph (3) of this subsection for a student with a medically-documented learning disability, including but not limited to dyslexia, dysgraphia, or Asperger's Syndrome.

  (2) Accommodation shall not include a waiver or exemption of any core curriculum requirement.

  (3) An institution may approve for core curriculum applicability a course the institution offers but that is not approved as a part of the institution's core curriculum, if the institution demonstrates that the course has been approved to fulfill the same specific foundational component area requirement at five or more other Texas public colleges or universities. The Texas Common Course Numbering System course number may be used as evidence of the suitability of the course under this subsection.
