Developmental Education

Students who have not met standards or have tested, but have not attained the established minimum scores on one or more sections of the THEA (or another state-approved exam) are required by Texas Law to obtain TSI advising and to enroll in a formal program of skills development each semester until they have passed all sections of the test. Assigned skills development must be completed as a condition of enrollment. 

TSI Deficient students at TAMUG will automatically be enrolled in the corresponding developmental education course(s) for the semester and blocked from certain college-level subject courses (Math, Reading, and/or Writing). Students may enroll in any college-level courses that do not fall under the deficient subject areas. Prior to the completion of a developmental course, TAMUG students are required to take the corresponding section of the ACCUPLACER Exam to determine college readiness and change their TSI status. Once a student is compliant, the TSI/THEA Hold is permanently removed from their account and they are eligible for any college-level coursework.
