 \nUnless exempt,students entering a Texas publiccollege or university must take the TSIA andmeet or exceed the minimum college readinessbenchmarks to enroll in entry-level collegecredit courses.  \nStudents who qualify for a TSI exemption canenroll in entry-level college credit courseswithout restrictions(see list of exemptions onthe right).Students may also demonstratecollege readiness by transferring a successfullycompleted college-level course from anotherinstitution of higher education.  \nFor a complete list of TSl exemptions,see Texas EducationCode,§51.3062 and Coordinating Board rules,§4.54.  \n# Texas Success Initiative Exemptions\n\n# When do students take the TSI Assessment?\n\nStudents must complete the TSI Assessment(TSIA)and meet the collegereadiness benchmarks by subject area before they can enroll in entry-levelcollege-level courses.TSIA results are available immediately after completion ofthe assessment and can be emailed to students.Students wishing to use theirTSIA scores at an institution where they did not take the test can ask that theirscores be pulled by a testing administrator at the institution where they plan toenroll.  \nA student must participate in a Pre-Assessment Activity(PAA)before taking theTSIA.The activity varies by institution but must include at minimum the following:  \n● An explanation of the importance of the TSI Assessment and its use byinstitutions;  \n● Practice test questions with feedback;  \n● An explanation of all options for students who do not meet the collegereadiness benchmarks;and  \n·Information on campus,academic,and community resources to helpsupport student success.  \n## What happens if a student does not pass one or all parts of the TSIAssessment?\n\nStudents who do not pass at least one subject area component (reading,writingand math)of the TSIA must work with an advisor to develop a plan for academicsuccess that outlines the options for students to become college ready,includingtraditional semester-long stand-alone developmental courses.Institutions mustalso provide the following:  \n·Co-requisite/mainstreaming-a student enrolls at the same time in theapplicable entry-level college credit course and a developmentaleducation intervention designed to support the student's success in thecollege credit course.  \n·NCBO(non-course competency based options)-a student enrolls in anintervention that is flexible and individualized to address the student'sweak areas and is shorter than the traditional 48 hour course.  \n·Modular/technology-based-a student enrolls in an intervention that  \noffers flexible scheduling with strong technology-based options and  \nindividualized,just-in-time support.Modular options can be offered via  \nNCBO and/or co-requisite delivery.  \n# Minimum Passing College Readiness Standards on the TSIA\n\nMath350Reading351  \n●Multiple choice score of 350 and essay score of 5,or  \nWriting●Multiple choice score of 363 and essay score of 4,or●Multiple choice score below 350,ABE Diagnosticscore of 4,and essay score of 5.  \nOVERVIEW:TEXASSUCCESS INITIATIVE  \nStudents entering Texaspublic institutions ofhigher education musttake the TSIAssessment,or beexempt,to e","cbCaimiY2c1DDw5Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimiY2c1DDw5Q","pdf",796631,"English","# BACKGROUND\n## DETAILS\n## Texas Success Initiative Exemptions\n## When do students take the TSI Assessment?\n## What happens if a student does not pass one or all parts of the TSIA Assessment?\n## Minimum Passing College Readiness Standards on the TSIA","[{\"question\":\"Which students in Texas must take the TSIA assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Unless exempt, students entering a Texas public college or university must take the TSIA and meet or exceed the minimum college readiness benchmarks to enroll in entry-level college credit courses.\"},{\"question\":\"How can a student qualify for a TSI exemption or demonstrate readiness without the TSIA?\",\"answer\":\"Students may qualify for exemptions listed under Texas Education Code §51.3062 and related rules.
