Exemption Tip for TASP Test Based on Earlier College Hours
Roberta Wright, director of developmental studies, says students with three college semester hours before fall 1989 are exempt from the TASP. High school seniors are urged to take transferable college courses to be grandfathered from the test and avoid the $24 fee.
