Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment Required by the State for All Entering College Students

Disponible en: Español


TSIA assesses college readiness in reading, writing, and math unless the student qualifies for an exemption or demonstrates college readiness.

The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) program is designed to help colleges and universities determine if you are ready for college-level coursework in reading, writing, and mathematics. All incoming college students are required to take the TSI Assessment (TSIA2) unless they qualify for an exemption based on their SAT or ACT scores. After high school, based on how you perform on the TSIA2, you may be enrolled in a college-level course and/or be placed in the appropriate developmental courses.
