TSIA2 Testing

The Texas Suc­cess Initiative Assessment 2.0, now the TSIA2, is a state-man­dat­ed pro­gram that applies to all stu­dents enrolling in Texas pub­lic col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties for the first time. Stu­dents are required to take the TSI2 to demon­strate col­lege readi­ness, unless one of the following exemptions apply:  

  1. Achieved at or above the state exemp­tion scores on ACT, SAT, TAKS or STAAR End of Course (EOC).
  2. Earned an asso­ciate or bac­calau­re­ate degree.
  3. Com­plet­ed col­lege-lev­el course­work at a pri­vate or inde­pen­dent insti­tu­tion of high­er edu­ca­tion or an accred­it­ed out-of-state insti­tu­tion of high­er education.
  4. Attend­ed any insti­tu­tion pre­vi­ous­ly and has been deter­mined to have met readi­ness stan­dards by that institution.
  5. Serv­ing on active duty as a mem­ber of the armed forces of the Unit­ed States, the Texas Nation­al Guard, or as a mem­ber of a reserve com­po­nent of the armed forces of the Unit­ed States and has been serv­ing for at least three years pre­ced­ing enrollment.
  6. Hon­or­ably dis­charged, retired, or released from active duty as a mem­ber of the armed forces of the Unit­ed States or the Texas Nation­al Guard or ser­vice as a mem­ber of a reserve com­po­nent of the armed forces of the Unit­ed States.
  7. An insti­tu­tion may exempt a non-degree-seek­ing or non-cer­tifi­cate-seek­ing student.

The TSI Assess­ment 2.0 is an instruc­tion­al pro­gram designed to enhance the suc­cess of stu­dents in col­lege-lev­el cours­es. The pro­gram pro­motes the ear­ly diag­no­sis of basic skills in math­e­mat­ics (alge­bra & sta­tis­tics), and basic skills in language arts and reading, and man­dates pro­grams to ensure the suc­cess of stu­dents in high­er education.

Based on how you per­form, you may either be enrolled in a col­lege-lev­el course that match­es your skill lev­el or be placed in the appro­pri­ate devel­op­men­tal course or inter­ven­tion to improve your skills and pre­pare you for suc­cess in col­lege-lev­el courses.
