COURSE CANCELLATION POLICY
Trinity Valley Community College reserves the right to cancel any scheduled courses
which do not have sufficient enrollment to justify, economically or educationally,
teaching the course. In such cases, students will be notified of a cancellation at the
first scheduled meeting of the course.
DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM
Prior to registering for coursework, students must submit official test scores on an
approved Texas Success Initiative (TSI) test unless the student meets one of the TSI
exemptions. Approved TSI tests are the THEA, THEA Q-T, COMPASS, ASSET and
ACCUPLACER. Students who do not receive the minimum required test scores will
be required to enroll in developmental courses and remain in those courses until
passing test scores in each area (reading, writing and math) are received or until the
developmental course sequence in each area has been successfully completed.
The developmental studies program at Trinity Valley Community College is
designed to assist students with the attainment and mastery of basic skills which
they will need to function effectively in college and in life.
Developmental courses are required for students whose college readiness (TSI, etc.)
test scores reflect a need for skills development in reading, writing and/or
mathematics. Developmental courses are also an option for students who feel a need
to review and develop basic educational skills, even though the courses may not be
required. Developmental courses carry no semester hour credit, do not transfer, do
not count in a student’s GPA and cannot be used for graduation purposes.
Once enrolled, students may NOT withdraw from DEVL courses during the course of
the semester for any reason. The developmental studies curriculum is outlined in
the following table:
