TSI Information |
| The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state program designed to ensure that all Texas institutions provide placements testing, personal advisement and appropriate instruction to students to enhance their opportunities for success in their college studies. All new students entering Texas colleges and universities are required to take placement test prior to enrolling in college-level courses, unless exempt from testing under specific state standards (i.e., scores on ACT, SAT or TAKS). Testing will indicate whether a student possesses adequate basic college-level skills in reading, writing, and mathematics necessary to begin an undergraduate program of study. |
| If testing indicates a need for building certain skills in any or all of the skills areas, students will be required to enroll in and successfully complete the developmental programs. In addition, certain college-level courses in the core curriculum are restricted with enrollment
allowed for only those students who have net the state-specified placement test standards. All three parts of
the placement test must be successfully mastered before a student is awarded an associate degree, certain certificates of
proficiency, or allowed to transfer into junior or senior-level courses at a public university. |
| College success has always been a top priority at South Plains College and we want to see that you make a smooth transition into this program. At SPC, the test will not be used as an admissions criterion. Failure to take an approved placement test prior to registration will limit your choices of classes that you may enroll in. It is important, especially if you are a transfer student, to consult a faculty advisor or counselor about TSI regulations and SPC policies prior to registration. |
