Students Concurrently Enrolled in High School and the College (Archived)

If you are still enrolled in high school you may be admitted under the following conditions:

  • If you have completed your junior year in an accredited high school, you may be admitted with your high school principal's written recommendation. You must also present scores on one of the following tests: ACCUPLACER, ASSET, COMPASS or Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA), with results indicating your ability to complete college-level work. ACCUPLACER and ASSET are available at the college. Generally, you may take no more than two courses each semester. The college-vice president or designate will have a conversation with prospective students under the age of sixteen (16) and their parents so that expectations of college readiness issues of the students, parents, and college are clarified. These issues will be considered in determining readiness for college-level course work.

  • If you have not completed your junior year at an accredited high school, you may be admitted upon meeting all of the following conditions:
    • Submit your high school principal's written recommendation;
    • Present scores on ACCUPLACER, ASSET, COMPASS, or Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) with results indicating your ability to do college-level work;
    • Receive approval from the college Vice President of Instruction or designate. Upon approval, you may take no more than two courses each semester. However, if you meet specific conditions, you may be permitted to enroll for three courses.

  • The college-vice president or designate will have a conversation with prospective students under the age of sixteen (16) and their parents so that expectations of college readiness issues of the students, parents, and college are clarified. These issues will be considered in determining readiness for college-level course work.

  • If you are enrolled in non-accredited high schools or educated in a non-traditional setting (i.e., home-schooled) and have completed the equivalent of the junior year (16 units) in high school, you may be admitted by meeting all the following conditions:

    • Provide a notarized record of the school subjects completed (consistent with the Texas Education Agency minimum requirements);
