The Testing Center administers an approved test for Texas Success Initiative (TSI) purposes. It is a comprehensive computerized adaptive testing system that helps place students into appropriate courses. Placement and diagnostic exams are offered in mathematics, reading and writing for the purpose of advancing to the next level of developmental coursework or placing out of developmental courses entirely.

Upon completion of the exam, students will be given a copy of the scores and should return to the Advising Office to determine if their developmental requirement has changed. Passing scores do NOT release a student from their current course obligations and do not award the student a passing grade for the course.
