by any institution of higher education to have met college-readiness
standards.
(b) An institution of

coursework, or instructional support that includes the integration of
technology to efficiently address the particular developmental needs of the
student.
(c) Each institution of
higher education shall develop and implement for all developmental coursework, other than adult basic
education or basic academic skills education, developmental education using
a corequisite model under which a student concurrently enrolls in a
developmental education course and a freshman-level course in the same
subject area for each subject area for which the student is referred to
developmental coursework.
(d) If a student fails to
satisfactorily complete a freshman-level course described by Subsection

programs, such as advising programs;
