Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a corequisite?
A corequisite is when a student is required to enroll in a course at the same time the student is taking another course.
What is the difference between a corequisite and a prerequisite course?
While corequisites courses are taken concurrently, prerequisites must be successfully completed before another course is taken.
When I pass my coreq courses, what is the next step?
First, see your advisor. However, passing a coreq course pair indicates that you are TSI complete and are now ready to take college-level courses on your degree plan.
Are corequisites required?
It depends. Corequisites are required for students who do not pass their Texas Success Initiative Exam (TSI) and their scores place them at the corequisite level. Link to the course Placement Chart for more info.
Do I have to pass my corequisite courses?
Students must pass a corequisite course to continue to enroll in college credit courses that have reading and writing as prerequisites.
If I pass my stand-alone INRW 0420, am I TSI complete?
No. A stand-alone INRW course is an entry-level course leading to taking a corequisite pair. When you are successful in the corequisite pair, then you are TSI complete.
What courses are available as a corequisite?
At ACC, students who do not meet TSI requirements and whose scores fall within the range assigned to corequisites are required to take INRW 0340 or INRW 0230 AND a college-level course. Courses include but are not limited to English 1301, Humanities 1301, Speech 1311, and Sociology 1301. For details, link to the course Placement Chart.
