The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a program designed to help students be successful in college. It includes assessment of students before entering a state-supported college or university, advisement and an individual plan designed to prepare students to meet college-readiness skills. Students are required to submit TSI assessment test scores or proof of exemption prior to enrolling.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
- In most cases, Transient students in Texas have already addressed the TSI requirement
at their home institution. Please request that your institution include your TSI information
on your transcript (if the institution is a Texas public college or university).
- Students who are from a private or out-of-state college or university may meet the
TSI requirement if the student has earned college-level coursework in English (equivalent
to ENGL1301 or 1302) or any college-level Math.
- Visit our TSI Information page for more information.
