Do I have to wait until I’ve finished my developmental classes to start regular academic course work?
Students may not enroll in academic classes that require them to have sufficient command of basic skills they did not master on the THEA. For example, if a student failed the reading portion of the THEA, he/she must enroll in developmental reading courses and will not be allowed to take courses in English, social sciences or other areas that require him/her to have mastered the basic reading skills required by THEA. However, if the same student who failed the reading portion of the THEA passed the math portion, he/she will be able to enroll in math courses while taking classes in developmental reading. In addition, some course prerequisites allow a student to enroll in credit and GUST courses concurrently. Students should speak with their counselor about course prerequisites.
