Dual Credit Testing

High school students enrolled in dual credit courses with less than 15 credit hours completed are considered non-degree seeking and are not required to demonstrate college readiness through the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessments.

The Texas Higher Educational Coordinating Board requires a program of study (POS) declared at 15 credit hours. Once the student completes 15 credit hours, they are required to adhere to TSI regulations.

• Non-degree seeking dual credit students (with less than 15 credit hours) are eligible to enroll in TSI required courses (ex. ENGL 1301, MATH 1314), without meeting the college readiness requirements.
• Dual credit students who have earned 15 credits or more, are required to meet college readiness requirements before registering for TSI required courses. This applied to all courses including retakes.

Please refer to the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Program webpage for specific information about TSI testing.
