Beginning fall 1998, all undergraduate students who enter a public institution of higher education in Texas must take the TASP test before enrolling in any college-level course work. Exempted from taking the TASP test are students who earned 3 college-level credit hours before the fall of 1989. Under limited circumstances, the requirement may be waived for nondegree-seeking students 55 years of age or older and for students enrolled in the OCTD certificate program. For specific information, contact the Office of Admissions. A student whose score on any section of the TASP test is below passing is required by Texas law to participate in a developmental program.
Developmental courses are available on campus.
The hours for these courses will not count as credit toward completion of degree requirements, but will count toward determining full-time status. For more information, see TASP Requirements . On completion of the developmental course work or program, the student must take that portion of the TASP for which developmental education was required. A student may not enroll in any upper division course, if completion of the course would give the student 60 or more semester hours, until TASP requirements are met.
