Sending your TSI Scores

To send TSI scores:

• Visit the ACCUPLACER Student Portal: https://studentportal.accuplacer.org/#/studentisr

• When inputting your information, your ID is your Unique ID, not your Aldine ID - you can find your unique ID on your transcript on the top right hand, labeled “Student Unique ID” or you can email Mrs. Guerra.

• The testing site is Aldine ISD.

• Accuplacer will send you an email with a link to send scores to colleges.   

• After graduation, if you did not change the email on file to your personal email, you will have to contact Mrs. Guerra to update the email address.
