*Participation qualifications may vary based on affiliate dual credit program. See high school counselor for more information.

*Students who have previously earned 15 hours or more of college credit must meet TSI eligibility requirements to be allowed to enroll in dual credit classes at UTA.

Students who have earned 0-14 hours of college do not need to meet TSI eligibility requirements, but will need to meet that criteria once they cross the 15 hour threshold. A student who is enrolled in one 3-hour course has 13 hours of college credit previous to enrolling at UTA for dual credit would not need to meet the TSI requirement for their first semester, but would need to meet it starting in their second semester.
