				  shall be provided for lower-division academic courses at public community
				  colleges, public technical colleges, or public state colleges if such courses:
(1) are approved for inclusion in the
				  Lower-Division Academic Course Guide Manual (ACGM);

Texas Administrative Code › Title 19 - EDUCATION › Part 1 - TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD › Chapter 9 - PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT IN PUBLIC TWO-YEAR COLLEGES › Subchapter D - TRANSFERABLE ACADEMIC COURSES › Section 9.74 - Unique Need Courses

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) An academic
				  course may be approved for unique need if it meets the following criteria:
(1) The course must have college-level rigor.
				  A course designed to meet a community service, leisure, career/technical, or
				  avocational need is inappropriate for unique need approval.
(2) The course must be freshman or sophomore
				  level. Upper-division courses shall not be approved for unique need. For
				  purposes of this subchapter, a course may be considered to be lower-division if
				  a majority of the public universities in Texas offering an equivalent course
				  classify it as lower-division in their catalogs.
(3) The course must be acceptable for
				  transfer and apply toward baccalaureate degree requirements at a minimum of
				  three Texas public universities. If a university's degree program requirements
				  could be satisfied by an existing course in the ACGM, then that university
				  cannot count as one of the required three.
(4) An exception may be granted for a unique
				  need course that transfers to a single university if the college documents that
				  its students transfer to that university on a yearly basis into a
				  discipline-specific major of which the course is a required component, and the
				  course is part of a current, documented articulation agreement between the
				  two-year college and the university. The articulation agreement documentation
				  must demonstrate that the course is a degree program requirement and not merely
				  an option or elective.

				  of this title (relating to Requirements and Limitations) and may include
				  additional transfer information that will help students make informed decisions
				  about coursework.
(d) Colleges may
				  notify students either through the mail or through electronic means targeted
				  directly at affected students such as electronic mail, pop-up notices on an
				  electronic registration or advising page, or information included in the
