2010 Threshold Dates July 12-16 & 19-23
Class Descriptions and Registration Forms will be posted in early March
Threshold courses are designed to provide challenge and enrichment for students whose abilities enable them to benefit from experiences beyond those provided by the regular school program.
Qualified students may choose to attend Threshold Session I and/or Session II. To maximize individual learning experiences, classes have a limit of twelve to twenty students. Parents are responsible for providing transportation to and from Hardin-Simmons University.
QUALIFICATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES
Students who have previously attended Threshold need only to provide: 1) a completed application form; and 2) tuition for enrollment. Once a student attends Threshold, provided it was not on a conditional basis, it is not necessary to re-demonstrate qualification.
Students who have not previously attended Threshold but have been accepted into a school district’s G/T program must submit: 1) a completed application; 2) tuition for enrollment; 3) a completed recommendation form; and 4) a letter from the school verifying their enrollment in a G/T program.
Students who have not previously attended Threshold and are not currently enrolled in a G/T program must provide: 1) a completed application form; 2) tuition for enrollment; 3) a completed recommendation form; and 4) test results to verify the student's qualifications. New students must possess demonstrated achievement and/or potential ability at the 90th percentile or above in intellectual ability. YOU MUST ATTACH A COPY OF TEST DATA (e.g., IQ or Ability tests) FROM THE 2008-2009 or 2009-2010 SCHOOL YEARS. TAKS test data is NOT applicable. If test data is not available, HSU does provide individual intelligence testing services. The fee is $45.00 and the screening takes approximately one hour. To schedule testing, please call (325) 671-2150. Test scores are not required at the time of application but must be received by April 23, 2010, or class placement may be affected.
