As determined by a TSI advisor, the student must participate in developmental education activities for each area of TSI that the student is out of compliance (mathematics, reading, and/or writing) during each semester the student is enrolled. During the student’s first semester only and with advisor approval, the following exceptions are possible:
1. A student who does not meet passing standards in all three areas will only have to register for Developmental Reading and Developmental Writing;
2. A student who does not meet passing standards in two areas must register for at least one developmental education course. If one of those courses is Developmental Reading, then they must register for Developmental Reading.
