CCMR
College, Career, & Military Readiness
College, Career, & Military Readiness (CCMR) is the measurement of how prepared a student is for academics beyond high school, the workforce, or a career in the military. In Richardson ISD, it is an expectation that students meet or exceed their CCMR measurements. To accomplish this, RISD offers multiple state of Texas approved pathways to CCMR success.
Q: How do I become CCMR met?
A: View this document to see the different pathways to achieve CCM Readiness.
Q: Am I required to earn a CCMR indicator in order to graduate?
A: Being CCMR met is NOT a graduation requirement. However, RISD does expect all students to meet or exceed their CCMR measurements to put them on the best path toward post-secondary success.
Q: Do Juniors and Seniors have to be CCMR met in order to have an off period?
A: YES! Students must complete at least one approved CCMR pathway to become eligible for late arrival OR early release. Early Release/Late Arrival Application required.
Eligible Juniors may have up to 1 off period
Eligible Seniors may have up to 2 off periods
9th and 10th graders are NOT eligible for off periods. Even if they are CCMR met.
Q: What is the TSIA2 test?
A: The TSI Assessment2 (TSIA2) is part of the Texas Success Initiative enacted by the Texas State Legislature and is designed to determine a student’s readiness for college-level coursework in the general areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. The TSIA2 is administered through the College Board’s Accuplacer digital platform. For nearly 10 years, the TSIA2 (or one of its exemptions) has been required for students entering any Texas college or university. RISD offers the TSIA2 test to students in the Spring of their sophomore year.

Q: What is Texas College Bridge (TCB)?
A: With TCB, high school juniors and seniors can take online college preparatory courses, strengthening their English and math skills prior to taking the TSIA2, SAT, ACT or enrolling in college and setting them on a path to postsecondary success. Texas College Bridge courses are personalized, self-paced and teacher facilitated—allowing students to focus on skills they need and skip those they have already mastered, with teacher support along the way.
Q: How can Texas College Bridge help me?
A: Students who score a 90% or higher on both the Math and English sections of TCB can earn a TSIA2 exemption at more than 80 partnering colleges and universities across Texas. Texas College Bridge exemption certificates are valid for 2 years upon graduation from high school.
