Texas Success Initiative (TSI)


The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a developmental education program mandated by the State of Texas to ensure that students enrolled in Texas public colleges and universities possess the necessary academic skills to succeed. State regulations require that all students enrolling in public higher education institutions demonstrate college readiness in reading, writing, and mathematics by earning passing scores on the TSI Assessment Test or providing proof of exempting ACT, SAT, or STAAR test scores; an associate’s or bachelor’s degree from an accredited public institution of higher education; honorable discharge from the U.S. military; or active U.S. military service. More information can be found at https://www.depts.ttu.edu/registrar/tsi/. Students with questions about their status regarding the Texas Success Initiative should contact the TSI Compliance Office at 806.742.3661.

The TSI Assessment Test is available through Academic Testing Services, 214 West Hall, 806.742.3671. Students will need to present their driver’s license or passport for identification purposes. After testing, students must submit their test scores to the TSI Compliance Office, 103A West Hall.

Students who have tested but did not meet the minimum scores in one or more sections of the TSI Assessment are required to talk with the academic advisor about required TSI support courses. The TSI office at Texas Tech University works with the academic advisors to provide customized plans for student development and developmental coursework in reading, writing, and mathematics to ensure each student will be successful in their selected academic majors and beyond.
