Both credit and non-credit courses are offered at UT Austin. Students register for Developmental Studies after meeting with a TASP Advisor and choosing the type that best meets their needs. Continuous participation in Developmental Studies is required until all three sections of the TASP test have been passed or the TASP requirement is met in an alternative way. Student performance is graded satisfactory or unsatisfactory and is not included in the grade point average. Developmental Studies will not count toward earning a bachelor's degree.
Students schedule regular, required times to attend the learning lab.
Although there is an individualized study plan, students are responsible for learning the material on their own. Students pay no tuition or fees for this course. Instructors encourage interaction and small group learning. These are credit classes that are included in the student's course load to satisfy financial aid, NCAA, housing and veterans administration regulations. Students pay tuition for this course.
