The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state-legislated program designed to improve student success in college. There are two components of the program.

1. An assessment to diagnose students’ basic skills in reading, mathematics, and writing

2. Developmental instruction to strengthen academic skills that need improvement

Our Texas Success Initiative program only serves students of ResponsiveEd schools. While the Texas Success Initiative is a statewide program, our office can only address the needs of incoming or current students at ResponsiveEd schools.  For TSI questions related to another institution, please contact that institution directly.

The TSI does not affect your admission to college/university, however it is required to complete the TSI Assessment before you can enroll in Dual Credit and standard college courses.

ResponsiveEd provides students the opportunity to take the TSI Assessment, free of charge, on a ResponsiveEd campus or virtually with a ResponsiveEd virtual proctor.
