​

• For districts and IHEs that are using the Texas College Bridge MOU, successful completion is defined as meeting 90% mastery of content in each course.
• For districts amending their local MOU, districts can award credit after successful completion of the course as determined by the MOU with their IHE partner.

PEIMS Reporting

• For college prep courses, TEA reviews the PEIMS course number, P/F indicator, and a course completion sequence that indicates the course was completed. 0=one semester course completed. 2=second half of two semester course completed. 

​

• Districts may decide whether the Texas College Bridge courses are completion only or award a numeric grade; however, awarding of credit is determined based on meeting established higher education course completion criteria regardless of the grading policy the district implements.
