| (a) Each institution of higher education shall develop
and administer a developmental education program using research-based
practices that include all the following components:
(1) assessment;
(2) differentiated placement and instruction based
on an individual student's skills, strengths, and needs;
(3) faculty development;
(4) student support services;
(5) program evaluation;
(6) integration of technology; and
(7) Non-Course-Based Options.
(b) Each institution of higher education shall develop
and implement corequisite model(s) of developmental education as defined
in §4.53(7) of this subchapter (relating to Definitions) for
developmental mathematics and integrated reading/writing (IRW) courses
and interventions for all the institution's non-exempt students, except
as provided under subsection (c) of this section.
(c) An institution may enroll the following students
in a developmental education course as necessary to address deficiencies
in the students' readiness to perform freshman-level academic coursework:
(1) a student assessed at Diagnostic levels 1-4 on
the Board-approved assessment instrument as provided by §4.56
of this subchapter (relating to Texas Success Initiative Assessment
Instrument);
(2) a student enrolled in adult education; or
(3) a student enrolled in a degree plan not requiring
an entry-level academic mathematics course.
(d) An institution must inform a student enrolled in
a mathematics pathway model (e.g., New Mathways Project, modular/Emporium
models, etc.) that successful completion of this model will result
in meeting the mathematics college readiness standard only for specific
college credit courses. The institution must also inform the student
that changing degree plans may require the student to complete additional
developmental education support or Non-Course-Based Developmental
Education Interventions.
(e) As part of subsection (a)(7) of this section, each
institution shall offer at least one section of each entry-level academic
course per developmental education subject area that incorporates
non-course-based interventions (NCBO).
