Completing the TSI
The Texas Success Initiative may be completed by:
1. Taking and passing an approved instrument for the sections not passed;
2. Passing the highest level of developmental course for that section.
Students not complete in all three sections of the TSI test are required by law to participate in a remedial program for those sections not passed while taking regular coursework.
