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 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 , select Alvin College from the drop-down.
