The law covers three specific areas—reading, writing, and math.  \nHigh School Students are required to meet TSI obligations only in the areas required by the college level coursework they are taking. For example: a student who wants to take ENGL 1301 must only meet the reading and writing obligation – not the math obligation. You are only required to meet the math obligation if you are taking a college math course. High School students are not required to take Vernon College  \ndevelopmental coursework while still in high school.  \nEXEMPTIONS  \nAccording to the law, a student may show “College Readiness” by meeting one of the exemptions listed below. There are other TSI exemptions –  \nthe exemptions listed below are the only ones that might apply to students who are still in high school.  \n\n|  | READING & WRITING | MATH |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| ACT\u003Cbr>(before Feb 14, 2023) | Composite Score of 23 and an English score of 19 | Composite Score of 23 and a Math score of 19 |\n| ACT\u003Cbr>(after Feb 15, 2023) | English and Reading (E+R) 40 | Mathematics\u003Cbr>22 |\n| SAT (taken March 2016 and after) | Evidenced Based Reading and Writing 480 | Math 530 |\n\nTHE TSI ASSESSMENT 2  \nIf you do not meet an exemption with the ACT or SAT exam. The only approved placement test is the Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2 or TSIA2 .  \nThe Texas Success Initiative Assessment is:  \n• Mandatory for all public colleges and universities in Texas  \n• Offered by appointment at our Century City or Vernon Campus  \n• Required by the State of Texas to measure your ability to read, write, and do math at a college level  \n• Computerized testing consisting of a multiple-choice exam as well as a writing sample-you will receive your results as soon as you finish the exam  \n• Untimed and usually takes several hours to complete  \n• Will provide you a multipage print out so that you can see in what areas you did well and in what areas you did poorly  \n• Costs $20 for all 2 sections or $10 for each individual section  \nPassing Scores for the TSI Assessment  \n\n| English-ELAR | 945 with an essay of 5 OR\u003Cbr>944 or lower with a diagnostic of 5 and an essay of 5 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Math | 950 or\u003Cbr>949 or lower with a diagnostic of 6 |\n\nTSI ELIGIBILITY SCORES  \nVernon College will also accept eligibility scores outlined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. These eligibility scores are only applicable when the student is still in high school. After high school graduation a student must either take the TSI test or meet an exemption standard. If a student attempts college level classwork using an eligibility score the student is not considered TSI clear until the student successfully completes the college level classwork.  \nEligibility Scores for ELAR – ENGLISH  \n\n| Instrument/Exam | Minimum Score |\n| --- | --- |\n| English II STAAR EOC | 4000 |\n\nEligibility Scores for MATH  \n\n| Instrument/Exam | Minimum Score |\n| --- | --- |\n| Algebra I STAAR EOC | 4000 + a passing grade in Algebra II*\u003Cbr>*the high school is responsible for validating that the student has met the passing grade required by the highschool in Algebra II |\n\n**A high school does NOT have to utilize eligibility scores. A high school can adhere to the standard that dual credit or concurrent enrollment students must meet a TSI exemption or pass the TSI test to take dual credit or concurrent enrollment classes.  \nThe high school or student is responsible for providing Vernon College the score reports necessary to utilize an eligibility score for registration into a college class. Students will not be able to register until applicable scores are proce","cbCaifoWkywsLjgu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifoWkywsLjgu","pdf",169027,"English","# Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Laws\n## College Readiness requirements\n## Exemptions (ACT/SAT)\n## TSIA2 assessment\n## Passing scores\n## TSI eligibility scores","[{\"question\":\"What areas does the TSI law require for high school students taking college coursework?\",\"answer\":\"TSI covers reading, writing, and math.
