A student can now take up to 18 SCH a semester without further approval. However, they must satisfy TSI requirements
4. Official High School Transcript
-
Official high school transcripts only need to be submitted for new students. However, if a returning student has new test scores (that were not submitted in previous semesters) that are provided on a high school transcript (STAAR, PSAT, PLAN, ACT, or SAT) an official transcript will need to be submitted if those scores are to be used for dual credit eligibility.
5) Shot Records (only students physically taking courses on the Texas A&M-Kingsville campus)
6) Official Qualifying Test Scores (Please see attached TSI Chart for the new student eligibility requirements.)
7) Official College Transcripts (if applicable) (please see attached counselors checklist for submission options)
o As noted on the counselor’s checklist, an unofficial copy can be submitted for review. However, we will not register the student until their official copy has been received prior to the first class day, if applicable. This component of the packet is very important, and in some cases may provide additional TSI eligibility for a student as well as help us ensure students are not retaking classes.
