Tuition and Fees

5. Must show proof of meeting the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements prior to their enrollment.

TSC students requesting diploma evaluations should consider the total number of qualifying credits to be awarded. Additional hours above the required amount to graduate may have an adverse impact on students' financial aid or other grant programs. In addition, students who have completed courses in the IBD program but who have not received the diploma may also receive college credit for completion of IBD courses with a score of 4 on the IBD examination.

Prior Learning Credit The assessment of prior learning may be requested for specific technical programs by individuals seeking to obtain college-level credit for previous training or work-related experience. Sources of prior learning may include the following:

 Certification/licensure/credentials equivalents  Military service  Workforce experience  Professional training  Open-source learning

After admission to TSC, students should consult with the appropriate instructional department to determine whether prior learning may be applicable for college credit. Students must be enrolled in the current semester for which they are applying for prior learning credit.

For more information regarding prior learning credit, students should contact Mr. Bervick Simon, Director of Advising and Testing at bervick.simon@tsc.edu.
