The student must also pass the exit-level TAAS test. The high school principal or the principal's designee must approve any exceptions to this requirement. Students should contact their high school counselor for details. High school juniors and seniors also have the opportunity to earn college credits only at Odessa College through the Early Admissions Program. To be eligible, students must meet the same criteria as with Concurrent Enrollment.
Information is available through the high school counselor's office.
High school students may participate in both the Concurrent Enrollment Program and the Early Admissions Program at the same time. All Concurrent Enrollment and Early Admissions students must meet admissions requirements set forth for Odessa College students, including TASP, and adhere to any other policies established for high school students. The student provides an official high school transcript showing TAAS, SAT or ACT score exemption. A practice test can be downloaded at the Texas Academic Skills Program site. Special Admissions Admission to Odessa College does not automatically include admission to all programs at the college.
