  • You are not seeking a degree and are an international student
  • The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has certified you as being dyslexic or having a related disorder or as having a math disorder. If you seek this exemption, you must check with the college TASP Coordinator to ascertain what documentation must be submitted to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board as only that agency may grant such an exemption
  • You are an out-of-state student enrolled in official distance education courses
  • You transfer from a private or out-of-state college or university with a transcript showing a grade of"A" or"B" in a course that the DCCCD believes is equivalent to a course on the"B or Better" list (See #5 in Meeting TASP Requirements)
  • You are a self-declared casual, enrichment, or non-degree seeking student. You must be tested on TASP, QuickTASP, or the college alternate assessment, but you do not have to participate in remediation. You must sign a form, available in the Admissions Office, Registrar's Office or Advisement Office each semester you are enrolled. You will be restricted from enrolling in certain courses until TASP requirements for such courses have been met, and you will not be awarded a certificate or degree
  • You are a student who is serving full-time, active duty as a member of the armed forces of the United States. Members of the National Guard or other less-than-full-time military groups will not qualify
  • You are a student who graduates from a public high school or an accredited private high school in any state with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale or the equivalent and completed the recommended or advanced high school curriculum or an equivalent or similar curriculum at an accredited private high school or at a high school outside of Texas. This exemption is effective only for a student who enrolls in an institution of higher education on or before the second anniversary of the date the student graduated from high school

All other students are subject to TASP requirements.
