• Texas Success Initiative (TSI)

    Students attending Texas public institutions of higher education must be in compliance with the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), as of fall 2003 (Texas Education Code §51.3062) in order to enroll in public institutions of higher education. The law requires all entering college students to be assessed for college readiness in reading, mathematics and writing unless the student qualifies for an exemption. Each student who fails to meet the minimum passing standard of the exam offered by the institution must be placed in a developmental education program designed to help the student achieve college readiness.

     

    Which student must take a TSI Assessment (TSIA2)?

    Unless exempt, a student who is entering a Texas college or university must take a TSIA2 exam and earn a score at or above the college-ready benchmark in order to enroll in credit-bearing courses. A student may be exempt, or partially-exempt, from taking TSIA2 by meeting college-readiness scores on either the SAT or ACT exam.

  • Dual Credit

     

    Students who plan to take any dual credit courses and earn college credit during high school will also need to show college-readiness before being able to enroll in these courses. Students interested should meet with the campus dual credit coordinator (Ms. Walea).
