Students must qualify with the TSIA2 test or SAT scores for TVCC classes

DUAL CREDIT DEADLINE IS NOV 8 for Applying and Registering for a fall class.

The TSIA2 has a new procedure for signing up.  Students must take the Pre-Assessment Activity first before signing up.

When you have completed the PAA come by Mrs. Dominguez's office to get a note before you pay Mrs. Vann (cash) for the test.  

Next TSIA2 test date Nov. 5, 2024

Full Test - $25  ELAR only $15, Math only $10 Essay only $5

Directions are in the TVCC forms link.

Dual Credit Forms can be found under the forms link. 

Here are the TSIA2  exemptions : 

SAT - Reading- 480   Math - 530   ACT composite 23 with 19 on English and Math  - Students can register and pay online for the SAT at SAT.org. or the ACT at ACT.org.  They do these tests on their own on a Saturday at a school nearby - usually Forney or Ennis. 

ALL Juniors will take the SAT in the spring on campus at no cost.

UPDATE as of FALL 2024 the PSAT CANNOT BE USED AS AN EXEMPTION. 

Go to tsia2.accuplacer.org  to find information for students, including a study app.  Students who prepare for the test do better!

The TSIA2 is one of the ways students qualify to take courses through TVCC. ELA must be passed to take most courses.  The Math TSIA2 is only needed for math and upper level science courses.

DO YOU NEED YOUR TSI SCORES? Go to the Accuplacer student portal: here  It will email the scores to the email you registered for the test with. It uses your Texas Unique ID that you may not know if you did not keep your voucher. Send me an email and I will send the ID to you. (This portal only works for tests that were taken starting Jan. 2021)
