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

FIRST TSIA2 OF THE YEAR IS SEPTEMBER 19TH - $25 FOR BOTH SECTIONS OR $15 FOR ENGLISH AND $10 FOR MATH

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

Directions are in the TVCC forms link.

NEW TVCC Students must apply and turn in forms by Nov. 15 for Spring 2024 classes

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

PSAT (taken in high school - not middle school)- Reading 460   Math 510 - I will be giving this in October. It is $25 ($15 for ELAR and $10 for Math) and a great way to qualify for TVCC. This is exemption is only for dual credit not for college after graduation.

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)
