This category is typically designed to serve the interests of adults who do not wish to pursue a degree at the present, but who wish to receive academic credit. An individual may be admitted subject to the following provisions:
1. He or she must hold a high school diploma or the equivalent and meet the requirement for admissions.
2. He or she may complete a maximum of 36 semester hours credit at TSU in this category. After receiving 36 hours, the applicant, to continue enrolling at TSU, must apply for regular classification and must meet transfer admission requirements.
3. He or she must take the COMPASS sub-test in English and/or Math before enrolling in these college-level courses unless the applicant has been placed by a valid ACT/SAT. If the student’s ACT places him/her in college preparatory courses rather than in college-level courses, the student may take the COMPASS to challenge such placement for a fee of $20.
