Dual Credit students must demonstrate readiness or eligibility for college courses. Please visit the
Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Program webpage for information regarding the assessment and the temporary COVID-19 TSI waiver for all students based on the “exceptional circumstances” provision referenced in the
THECB COVID-19 FAQs.
In addition to the TSI requirements and exemptions covered on the
Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Program webpage, high school students can enroll in dual credit courses by meeting one of the following dual credit eligibility measures:
| Eligibility Tests | Date Range of Approved Tests | Minimum Score
|
|---|
STAAR English II | Beginning 2014sp | Level 2 4000 Combined Score |
STAAR Algebra I | Beginning 2014sp | Level 2 4000
and Algebra II high school grade of C or better |
ACT Aspire (ACT Plan no longer offered.) |
| English 435 Math 431 |
PSAT/NMSQT | Prior to Oct 2015 | Combined 107 with 50 minimum on critical reading and/or math
|
Oct 2015 and after (Now approved as of May 2018 THECB memo) | EBRW score 460 or higher Mathematics score 510 or higher * Cannot mix with PSAT scores prior to Oct 2015
|
Students who enroll in courses under a waiver or exception are not considered TSI met; students must pass a TSI-required course with a C or better to be considered met in the appropriate area.
