The Dual Credit Enrollment Program at Midland College
CHAPS
A student who meets qualifying standards on the tests listed below is exempt from TSI testing.
- (10th or 11th grade test only) – 2200 in math and/or 2200 in English/Language Arts (ELA) with a writing subscore of at least 3
- (current within 5 years) – a combined score of 1070 with a 500 on both the math and critical reading sections
- (current within 5 years) – a composite score of 23 with a 19 on both the math and English sections
If not exempt, then a student must pass the portion of the TSI test that correlates with the dual credit class being requested. The state-approved TSI assessments administered by Midland College are the THEA, the Quick THEA and the COMPASS. The minimum passing standards for the TSI are:
Math – 39
Reading – 81
Writing – Essay 6 or Essay 5 with Writing Skills 59
Math – 230
Reading – 230
Writing – 220
Any student desiring to enroll in a math course must take a Midland College math placement test.
THEA/COMPASS scores must be on file before enrolling in any sophomore-level course.
An eleventh- or twelfth-grade student is eligible to enroll in Workforce Education dual credit courses if the student meets the minimum high school passing standard in the math and/or English sections of TAKS. A student who is exempt from taking TAKS may be otherwise evaluated by the education institution.
