Test scores or exemptions for the Texas Success Initiative (TSI)

COVID-19 TSI Assessment Alternative

The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state-required assessment test to determine college-readiness in reading, writing, and math. All first-time college students must take the TSI test before enrolling in classes unless you are exempt or complete. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with THECB guidance, Austin Community College (ACC) is able to consider alternate criteria for eligibility and placement of student readiness for college-level reading, writing, and mathematics courses and is offering the alternative criteria for placement of the TSI assessment requirements for the Summer 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021 semesters.

For incoming students who do not have TSI scores, there are two options:

1. College-Readiness Alternative: To assist in the application process, ACC will use applicants' high school transcripts as alternative criteria for college-level readiness in reading, writing and math for their first semester Summer 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021 semesters. (Please Note: Under TAC Rule 4.55(a), if a student elects the TSIA alternative courses and does not successfully complete these courses, they must take the TSIA before the end of the semester to avoid being unable to register.)

OR

2. TSI Assessment: Applicants may take the TSI Assessment (TSIA) online or in person* to determine their college-level placement in courses. Please click here to test.

*Campus Testing requires an appointment.

If you have not yet met TSI requirements and have questions about your options, contact us at startnow@austincc.edu and an enrollment advisor will assist you.
