Texas Success Initiative (TSI)

Students are required to complete an approved TSI exam prior to enrolling into college-level courses, unless exempted. (Exemptions) The TSI is required by Texas law to ensure that students enrolled in Texas public colleges possess the academic skills needed to perform effectively in college-level course work. TSI includes a testing component designed to provide diagnostic information about the reading, mathematics, and writing skills of each student. Acceptable TSI tests are THEA, ASSET, COMPASS, and ACCUPLACER. Here at TAMU-K, students have two choices to satisfy the TSI mandate, the THEA-offered by Academic Testing Services and the ACCUPLACER-offered out of the Center for Student Success. Again, these tests are Texas state mandated and we use the scores generated to determine whether academic enhancement classes are needed. (Placement guide table)

 

Registration

Students must register at least one day prior to the test date here. You may also pay with check, money order, or cash, again at least one day prior, in Jernigan Library, room 210 with Tony Ramirez.
