What is TSI
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state-legislated program designed to improve student success in college. There are two components of the program:
- An assessment to diagnose students’ basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.
- Developmental or college preparatory instruction to strengthen academic skills required for college success.
