TSI (Texas Success Initiative)
The State of Texas requires that all college students determine if they are college-ready before registering for classes at a college or university in Texas. Unless exempt, students enrolling in Alvin Community College are required to take the state-mandated placement test, otherwise known as the TSI Assessment.
The State of Texas also requires that a Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA) be completed prior to taking TSI for the first time. Click here to take the PAA (please be sure to select Alvin Community College from the drop-down).
