Student Eligibility Requirements. In admitting or enrolling high school students in a course offered for joint high school and junior college credit, a public junior college must apply the same criteria and conditions to each student wishing to enroll in the course without regard to whether the student attends a public school or a private or parochial school, including a home school. For purposes of this section, a student who attends a school that is not formally organized as a high school and is at least 16 years of age is considered to be attending a high school. To be eligible for enrollment in a dual credit course offered by a public college, students must meet all the college's regular prerequisite requirements designated for that course (e.g., minimum score on a specified placement test, minimum grade in a specified previous course, etc.). A high school student is eligible to enroll in academic dual credit courses if the student: Demonstrates college readiness by achieving the minimum passing standards under the provisions of the TSI [see EI] on relevant section(s) of an assessment instrument approved by the Coordinating Board; or Demonstrates that he or she is exempt under the provisions of the TSI. A high school student is also eligible to enroll in academic dual credit courses that require demonstration of TSI college readiness in reading, writing, and/or mathematics under any of the following conditions: Courses that require demonstration of TSI college readiness in reading and/or writing: If the student achieves a Level 2 final recommended score, as defined by TEA, on the English II State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness End of Course (STAAR EOC); or If the student achieves one of the following scores on the PSAT/NMSQT (mixing or combining scores from the PSAT/NMSQT administered prior to October 15, 2015, and the PSAT/NMSQT administered on or after October 15, 2015, is not allowable): A combined score of 107 with a minimum of 50 on the reading test on a PSAT/NMSQT exam administered prior to October 15, 2015; or A score of 460 on the evidence-based reading and writing (EBRW) test on a PSAT/NMSQT exam administered on or after October 15, 2015; or If the student achieves a composite score of 23 on the PLAN with a 19 or higher in English or an English score of 435 on the ACT-Aspire. Courses that require demonstration of TSI college readiness in mathematics: If the student achieves a minimum score of 4000, on the Algebra I STAAR EOC and passing grade in the Algebra II course; or If the student achieves one of the following scores on the PSAT/NMSQT (mixing or combining scores from the PSAT/NMSQT administered prior to October 15, 2015, and the PSAT/NMSQT administered on or after October 15, 2015, is not allowable): A combined score of 107 with a minimum of 50 on the mathematics test on a PSAT/NMSQT exam administered prior to October 15, 2015; or A score of 510 on the mathematics test on a PSAT/NMSQT exam administered on or after October 15, 2015; or If the student achieves a composite score of 23 on the PLAN with a 19 or higher in mathematics or a mathematics score of 431 on the ACT-Aspire.
