TSIA Testing

  • TSI is the Texas Success Initiative, a policy adopted by the state for all public colleges and universities to ensure that students have the skills in Reading, Writing, and Math to be successful with college-level work.  Some colleges, such as SPC, use the TSIA in place of the SAT/ACT for admission requirements
