Cisco Junior College requires all students to be placement tested prior to enrollment except as exempted by Subchapter 5, Section 314. Passing standards for TASP are 230 or higher for Reading and Math, and 220 or higher for the Writing section. TASP-waived students entering Level I Certificates are encouraged, but not required, to take the TASP Test prior to enrollment. Cisco Junior College's Allied Health programs require students to take the TASP Test to assist with advisement, but students are not required to pass the TASP to enter into Level I Certificate coursework. Students subject to TASP requirements who do not pass all sections of the TASP Test are required to enter developmental education upon initial enrollment.
Attendance is mandatory in required developmental courses or learning lab instruction.
Students will be dropped from developmental courses or learning lab instruction under Cisco Junior College's attendance policy as outlined in the general catalog. Students dropped from all required developmental coursework or learning lab instruction are subject to total withdrawal from school. For fall and spring semesters, full-time students subject to TASP requirements who fail one or more sections of the TASP must enroll in each area of developmental coursework in which they are found deficient. Part-time students are required to enroll into only one area of developmental coursework in which they are found deficient. In a summer semester, students subject to TASP requirements must enroll in only one developmental course in an area in which they are deficient.
