If you get an error, call the ACC Help Desk at 512-223-7066 (for Dual Credit students).

If your school device says, "This account is not allowed to sign in within this network." - add a separate Chrome profile using your ACC Gmail login or use another browswer like Edge. Most students add their ACC email to their phones.

CSTEP 4: PROVE COLLEGE READINESS 

• Determine if you need to take the TSI Assessment (see qualifying exemption scores). If exempt from testing, you may skip to Step 5. 

• You can find your scores in one or more of the following: 

• • PSAT/SAT (Naviance or College Board)

  • ACT (Naviance or ACT.org)

  • TSIA (Accuplcer)

  • Naviance > About Me > My Stuff > Test Scores.
    (You MUST go through Leander Launchpad to access Naviance.) 

• If you have looked up your test scores and believe you are TSI complete (and CPHS has the appropriate test results), you're good to go. Ms. Hexter will provide your scores to ACC.

• If you are not TSI complete, please plan on taking the TSIA at ACC. (See "How Do I Test at ACC?.")
