Enrollment & Participation
Students who meet the institutional JumpStart Program criteria are identified in their admission and orientation process. Students who have fewer than 26 credit hours in a college setting who are working towards meeting Texas College Ready standards are required to participate in JumpStart and thus are automatically enrolled in the program. Program site is determined by the student’s selected “home” campus per their admission application. Once identified and confirmed as a program candidate, students are automatically registered for JumpStart course (s) during summer session II.
