Legislative Update: HB 2223 HB 2223 Webinar and Slides Requires each IHE to develop and implement for developmental coursework a corequisite model for 75% of students enrolled in DE for reading/writing/math 2018-2019: 25% of DE students 2019-2020: 50% of DE students 2020-2021: 75% of DE students Success Initiative statute relocated Section 51.3062 changes to Article I, Section 1.01, F-1 DE Hours Eligible for Funding are Reduced Section 51.340 Universities: Reduced from 18 hours to 9 hours Community Colleges: Reduced from 27 hours to 18 hours ESOL: Remains at 18 hours/Universities and 27/CC

Definition of Corequisite Course Rule 4.53(7): An instructional strategy whereby students are co- enrolled in a developmental education course or NCBO, as defined in paragraph (18) of this section, and the entry-level freshman course of the same subject matter within the same semester. The developmental component provides support aligned directly with the learning outcomes, instruction, and assessment of the entry-level freshman course, and makes necessary adjustments as needed in order to advance students' success in the entry-level freshman course.

Which students? Student must be underprepared Not TSI-met Does not qualify for an exemption Has not otherwise demonstrated college readiness Could underprepared in 1, 2, or all 3 subject areas Does not apply to dual credit students Does not include students testing below Level 5

What does co-enrolled mean? Enrolled in both the DE course and gateway course at the beginning of the semester Should be a smooth transition from one course to the next Same class time if possible Curriculum should be aligned Both courses occur during the same semester Can be two separate courses or Can be one course that is extended

What does co-enrolled mean? No prerequisite of college readiness prior to moving into the college-level course Can still offer a DE course that requires demonstration of college readiness to enroll in college-level course However, this does not count as a corequisite course

Are corequisite courses mandatory for all developmental students? They are not mandatory for all developmental education students, but IHEs must meet the percentage requirements stated in the statute 2018-2019: At least 25% of the IHE's students enrolled in certain developmental coursework 2019-2020: At least 50% of the IHE's students enrolled in certain developmental coursework 2020-2021 And On: At least 75% of the IHE's students enrolled in certain developmental coursework We received this question regarding implementation of HB 2223. Are the co-requisite classes mandatory for all developmental students, or is this another alternative option like the NCBOs?

Calculating Corequisite Percentages for HB 2223 THECB is working on exact methodology now THECB will use information reported on CBM Items used in calculation: Reports of DE courses/NCBOs from CBM00S TSI status information on CBM002 TSIA scores on CBM002
