The Texas Success Initiative, or TSI, is a state requirement that students demonstrate college readiness in reading, writing, and math before taking college-level credit classes.
Holds may prevent a student from taking the TSI Assessment, attending New Student Orientation, or registering for classes.
Integrated Reading and Writing is a required course for many college-level courses. A student's TSI test scores will determine whether or not this course is needed.
The Testing Center is a partner in the enrollment process and before registering for your first college course, you must take the TSI Assessment.
