Admissions Generally

The College District has an open admissions policy that ensures that all persons who can benefit from postsecondary education have an opportunity to enroll. The College District shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, age, or military status in admissions.

Admission to the College District does not guarantee admittance to a particular course or program of study. A student may be required to satisfy certain requirements before enrolling in particular courses of study.

The Board of Trustees delegates authority to the College President to develop procedures for student admissions, including any additional course admission requirements. The procedures shall be published in the College District catalog and other relevant College District publications.

Academic Fresh Start

A resident of Texas may apply for admission and enroll as a student under the Academic Fresh Start program pursuant to the admissions procedures.

If an applicant elects to seek admission under the Academic Fresh Start program, the College District, in considering an applicant for admission, shall not consider academic course credits or grades earned by the applicant 10 or more years prior to the starting date of the semester in which the applicant seeks to enroll. The College District shall disregard those credits and grades and shall not award credit for those courses. [See EGA]
