What is the Texas Success Initiative?  \nA. The Texas Success Initiative, or TSI, was established in 2003 by the Texas State Legislature to insure that students are prepared to be successful in their college level coursework. Each post-secondary institution must assess all students entering their institution to determine college readiness. All students must be assessed in the areas of mathematics and English Language Arts (reading and writing) .  \nQ. How does SRSU determine college readiness?  \nA. Determination of a student’s TSI status is dependent upon whether a student is a first-time student (a freshman) or a transfer student.  \nAssessments for first time students are done in one of two ways. If a first-time student's SAT, ACT, or STAAR End-of-Course Exams’ scores are above the standard set by the state, then the student is exempt from further assessment (is TSI clear), and may enroll in advisor-approved coursework. If the student isnot TSI exempt, then the student must take the state approved assessment examination, the TSIA2 .  \nTransfer students should present evidence of success in college-level work for each of the three areas: reading, writing and mathematics. If a student has earned college-level credit (with a minimum grade of\"C\") in designated courses that relate to one of these areas, then no further assessment is required and the student is TSI clear. Otherwise, each transfer student must take the TSIA2 .  \nQ. What is the approved assessment examination?  \nA. On January 11, 2021, the new TSI Assessment 2 (TSIA2) went into effect. The TSIA2 is designed to determine if you are ready for college-level course work in the areas of English Language Arts (reading and writing) and Mathematics.  \nQ. What are minimum passing scores on the TSIA?  \nA. TSIA2 ELAR College Ready Scores:  \nCRC 945-990 and Essay 5-8 OR  \nCRC 910-944, Diagnostic Level 5-6 and Essay 5-8  \nTSIA2 Mathematics College Ready Scores:  \nCRC 950-990 OR  \nCRC 910-949 and Diagnostic Level 6  \nQ. I've got my assessment scores, now what?  \nA. Based on your scores, your Lobo Den advisor will enroll you in either college-level courses (if you are TSI clear) or Developmental Education courses (if you are not TSI clear); or perhaps a combination of these if appropriate.  \nQ. Do I have to take a Developmental Education course every semester I am enrolled?  \nA. As long as you have a developmental education requirement, you must be enrolled in a developmental education course each semester. The only exemption to this rule is when  \ndevelopmental education courses are not offered as, at times, classes are cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.  \nQ. What information must appear on my TSIA Score Report?  \nA. The institution at which you TSIA test must include on your TSIA Score Report your three-digit TSI score, any one-digit essay score, and any diagnostic scores. If your TSIA2 Score Report does not have all of these scores (as appropriate), then SRSU will require you either to contact your testing institution and request a complete TSIA2 Score Report or to retake the TSIA2 at SRSU. The score report must also include your name and student ID number.  \nQ. What if I have more questions about the Texas Success Initiative?  \nA. You may visit with a TSI advisor in Lobo Den, Library first floor, or call 432-837-8982.  \nYou may also call the Director of ACE, Kathy Stein, at 432-837-8770.","cbCais0Uosn8jWwj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais0Uosn8jWwj","pdf",90379,"English","# Developmental Education & TSI FAQ’s\n## Texas Success Initiative overview\n## College readiness determination\n## TSIA2 assessment and passing scores\n## Using assessment results for enrollment\n## Developmental education course enrollment rules\n## TSIA Score Report requirements\n## Additional questions and contact information","[{\"question\":\"What is the Texas Success Initiative (TSI)?\",\"answer\":\"The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) was established in 2003 to ensure students are prepared for college-level coursework.
