List of Approved College Preparatory Courses for CCMR version 1.0
To be considered an approved provider of college preparatory courses that count toward the CCMR credit in the public-school accountability system, course providers participated in an application process. The results of this evaluation can be found below for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) will implement the list of approved providers for College Preparatory Courses beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.
The agency will continue to add newly approved providers to the list each fall as additional evaluation data becomes available.
2025-2026 Unique Course Codes for College Preparatory Courses
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has issued a set of unique course codes for College Preparatory Courses (CPC), derived from submissions received through the College Preparatory Courses for College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) application process.
School districts are expected to implement these course codes beginning with the 2025–2026 academic year. The adoption of these standardized codes will enhance the Agency’s ability to accurately identify CPC partnerships statewide and to monitor student participation with individual providers.
