TSI (Texas Success Initiative)
Summer and Fall Registration and TSIA2 Testing
Students who are required to take the TSI Assessment and have not been able to do so may still enroll in CTC freshman level courses after completing a short self-assessment! The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has generously authorized colleges to invoke the “exceptional circumstances” provision, which allows students to start or continue their college education without the required testing. This option is available through summer 2022. However, students will be required to complete the TSI Assessment by the end of their first semester of enrollment in freshman courses.
If a student has already taken the TSI Assessment that takes precedence for course placement. Students who have an eligible TSI exemption or waiver will be able to enroll as usual. We recommend students contact the Advising office for guidance prior to testing. Cheating on this self-assessment could result in improper course placement, resulting in failure. Students should take a screen shot or picture of the results to email to Academic.Advising@ctcd.edu or EaglesOnCall@ctcd.edu for placement.
Testing Fee: The nonrefundable testing fee is $25 for all or $15 per section. Exact cash is required when paying at the Testing Services office. Individuals are strongly encouraged to prepay at the Business Office, Bldg 119, 254- 526-1217/1414.and bring two receipts the day of the test
