  (2) Diagnostic assessments to determine a student's specific educational needs to allow for appropriate developmental instruction;
  (3) Modular developmental education course materials;
  (4) Use of tutors and instructional aides to supplement developmental education course instruction as needed for particular students;
  (5) Internal monitoring mechanisms used to identify a student's area(s) of academic difficulty; and
  (6) Periodic updates of developmental education course materials.
(b) At the end of each semester, each institution shall report to the Coordinating Board the following information for each undergraduate student: Social Security Number (SSN), semester credit hours (SCH), grade points earned, ethnicity, gender, date of birth, Texas Success Initiative status, initial assessment instrument, score on initial assessment, type of developmental education received for each area (reading, mathematics, writing), and grade in first related non-developmental course.
