5315. Alternative Assessment.
(a) The board shall establish other
assessment procedures to be used by
institutions in exceptional cases to allow a
student to enroll in upper division courses
in cases where student test results do not
meet standards.
(b) In applying for permission to be
assessed as an "exceptional case", the stu-
dent must state what the student believes
caused the previous test results to be below
passing level and why the student expects
the "exceptional case" assessment results to
be above the passing level.
(c) If the student has a handicap-
ping condition that can be reduced through
an appropriate program of intervention then
the student must present evidence of
satisfactory participation in such a program.
(d) A student may not apply for
and/or be assessed as an "exceptional case"
more than three times in any 12-month
period.
(e) The student's institution will
certify a student as an "exceptional case"
using any pertinent information appropriate
to support the decision. One or more reme-
dial/developmental educators must be
involved in the decision-making process.
The institution must submit to the Coordi-
nating Board all evidence that was
considered and a statement as to why that
student is thought to be an "exceptional
case."
(f) In certifying a student as an
"exceptional case" to the Coordinating
Board, the institution must recommend a set
of'other assessment procedures" that it con-
siders to be appropriate to the student's
needs and that is comparable to the skills
and difficulty of the regular TASP test.
(g) The Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board staff must review the
certification and recommendations and then
specify: the "other assessment procedures"
that must be used; and the examiners who
must conduct the "other assessment
procedures."
(h) The "exceptional case" stu-
dent's performance must be judged and
then certified in writing to be "passing" by
the examiner(s) who conducted the "other
assessment procedures", the educator(s)
who conducted the remedial/developmental
programs at the student's institution and the
chief executive officer (or his/her designee)
at the student's institution. The Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board staff
must agree that the student's performance:
was minimally acceptable or passing on the
"other assessment procedure"; was compa-rable to that required on the regular TASP
test; and satisfied the requirements of the
law.5.316. Standards. The board shall set
statewide standards for the certification
form of the examination, but an institution
may require higher performance standards
than those set by the board. In this case, a
student wishing to transfer to an
institution with a higher standard may
not be denied admission on the basis of
TASP test scores, but may, nonetheless,
be required to meet other higher
standards as determined by the
institution.
5.317. Remediation and Advisement.
(a) For initial placement of a stu-
dent, an institution may use any appropriate
diagnostic assessment procedures.
(b)-(k) (No change.)
5.318. Institutional Reporting.
(a) Each institution shall report
annually to the board, on or before a day set
by rule of the board and in a manner
prescribed by the board, data concerning
the [results of the students being tested and
the] effectiveness of the institution's Reme-
dial Program and Advising Program. [The
report shall identify by name the high
school from which each tested student grad-
uated and a statement as to whether or not
the student's performance was above or be-
low the standard. For the purposes of this
report, students shall not be identified by
name.]
(b) (No change.)
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal
has been reviewed by legal counsel and
found to be within the agency's authority to
adopt.

Chapter 21. Student Services
Subchapter J. The Physician
Student Loan Repayment
Program
* 19 TAC 21.251-21.266
(Editor's note: The text of the following sections
proposed for repeal will not be published. The
sections may be examined in the offices of the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board or
in the Texas Register office, Room 245, James
Earl Rudder Building, 1019 Brazos Street,
Austin.)The Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board proposes the repeal of 21.
251-21.266, concerning the Physician's Stu-
dent Loan Repayment Program. The sections
are being repealed and rewritten to bring
state rules into agreement with federal rules
and requirements governing the expanded
portion of the program and to eliminate un-
necessary redundancy in previous rules. The
sections will provide necessary flexibility to
adjust to changing requirements in federal
rules and will make clear the medical special-
ties that qualify a physician for student loan
repayment.
Mack Adams, assistant commissioner for
Student Services, has determined that for the
first five-year period the sections are in effect
there will be no fiscal implications for state or
local government as a result of enforcing or
administering the sections.
Mr. Adams also has determined that for each
year of the first five year period the sections
are in effect the public benefit anticipated as
a result of enforcing the sections will be im-
provement in numbers of certain specialities
of physicians practicing medicine in economi-
cally depressed medically underserved areas
and rural medically underserved areas of the
state and for certain state agencies. There
will be no effect on small businesses as a
result of enforcing the sections. There is no
anticipated economic cost to persons who are
required to comply with the sections as
proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted
to Kenneth H. Ashworth, Commissioner of
Higher Education, Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board, P.O. Box 12788, Austin,
Texas 78711.
The repeals are proposed under the Texas
Education Code, 61.537, which provides the
Coordinating Board with the authority to
adopt rules regarding the Physician's Student
Loan Repayment Program.
