*Texas Success Initiative (TSI)

Although CTC is an open-admission community college, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) program uses assessment, advising and remediation to ensure students have the necessary skills to be successful in freshman academic coursework. TSI requires student assessments in reading, writing and math skills prior to enrolling in college unless the student is TSI-exempt or TSI-waived. The state-approved TSI tests are ACT, SAT, STAAR, TAKS and the TSI Assessment. For more information on how you may be exempt or waived, please click here.
