With regard to college and university level coursework, Webb CISD teaches appropriate Advanced Placement coursework at Bruni High School. Students qualified to take college coursework are encouraged to use the district’s partnership with Texas A&M International University. Listed below is the process for enrollment for Bruni High School Students.
CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Qualified high school students in 11th and 12th grade may seek early admission to Texas A&M International University for the purpose of gaining credits in university-level classes. No student may enroll at Texas A&M International University for more than (6) credit hours each long semester and three (3) credit hours each summer session and must maintain a 2.0 or higher grade point average based on a 4.0 scale in order to continue in subsequent semesters.
To be admitted as a concurrent student, an applicant must meet the following requirements and must submit required documents to the Office of Admissions:
• Application for Concurrent Admission. This application must include a signed authorization from the applicant’s high school counselor or principal.
• Official High School Transcript showing completion of the sophomore year with at least an 85 out of 100 grade average for all coursework completed in high school. A copy of current schedule of classes must be attached to transcript. Official transcript must be sent directly from the high school attended.
• Official college/university transcript(s) sent directly from each institution attended where college credit has been earned. A minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 is required.
• The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing (ACT) scores may be required for some courses.
• Signed "Parental Permission Statement" provided on the application.
Any exceptions to the stated policy on concurrent enrollment will be granted only by the University Admissions and Exceptions Committee. Petitions may be submitted through the Office of Admissions.
NOTE: As of September 1, 2003, the State of Texas required all students to meet the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) mandates. TAMIU will use the state approved Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) as a form of assessment and honor any state approved alternative assessment instruments. The University will use the THEA exemptions as stipulated by the State of Texas under the TSI plan. The THEA score is not a determinant component for admissions into A&M International.
Concurrently enrolled students who have taken the THEA, and failed any section may not take college level classes related to portions of the test that have not been passed.
