Where Can You Take Your Courses?
A Deficiency Plan is specific to the University which prepares it. University of St. Thomas requires you to complete all courses on your plan at this University to receive a recommendation for Certification from UST. (Any exceptions must have prior approval of the Certification Officer.) |
THEA (formerly TASP)Test Requirements
Passing scores by the current standards on the THEA Test (Texas Academic Skills Program) must be on file before enrolling in coursework. Passing scores on the TASP test are still acceptable. Passing scores are currently: Reading - 230, Math - 230 and Writing – 220. Passing scores are required before one may take ANY Education classes. |
Application to the University
Your application must be accepted by the University before you register for classes. Post baccalaureate undergraduate students should contact the Office of Admissions (713) 525-3500 and graduate students should contact the School of Education (713) 525-3540. Please plan to do this early so that you may be admitted to the University in time to register for classes you wish to take. |
