Texas Success Initiative: State Requirements

The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state statute requiring all undergraduate students - new students, transfer students, and international students - who enter a Texas public institution of higher education to either: (A) Demonstrate readiness for college-level reading, writing, and mathematics before enrolling in college-level academic coursework by achieving the statutory threshold(s) on the state-approved readiness assessment or (B) Meet one of the conditions for exemption from the testing requirement. Students must satisfy all TSI requirements before receiving a baccalaureate degree. Students who do not meet TSI requirements must complete developmental coursework to attain TSI compliance.

All first-year and transfer students coming into the University of North Texas must have completed TSI testing or have a documented exemption before registering for classes. Your registration will be delayed if TSI status cannot be determined before your orientation session.

Exemptions: Students are exempt from readiness testing if any of these TSI exemption categories apply. If you are TSI Exempt, please send appropriate documentation to the Office of Advising Services.

If Not Exempt: UNT only accepts scores from the TSI Assessment for assessment purposes. The state-approved TSI Assessment measures college-level readiness in mathematics and English language arts and reading (ELAR). Minimum score thresholds are required to demonstrate college readiness in each subject area.

Students needing to take a TSI Assessment should test prior to attending their scheduled orientation session. Please visit Office of Advising Services Website for testing options and study tools to help you prepare for the assessment.
