  5. Determination of College Readiness Students will be determined to have met the College-Readiness Standard in the area of reading by either of the following methods: • A passing score on an approved assessment instrument. (THEA, Accuplacer,TAKS, ACT, or SAT) Or • Passing READ 90 with a “C” or better.

  6. P Grade Policy: • Students who pass a STC approved TSI placement test during the term and are passing their corresponding developmental course may receive a grade of "P" for that course. • A grade of "P" will count as a successful completion of the course, but it will not be included in calculating the current semester GPA. • In order to be awarded a grade of "P," students must provide the instructor with official test scoresdemonstrating that they have met the passing standard. • Students also have the option of completing the course and receiving a letter grade, which will be included in calculating the current semester GPA. • Students are encouraged to continue attending the class and complete the course in order to be better prepared for college-level courses.

  7. P Grade Policy (continued) : • Note: P grades are not awarded automatically. It is important that you bring to your instructor a P Grade form signed by the Retention Specialist before you are awarded the P grade.
