Texas Success Initiative
Though not required to gain admission, all students who intend to enroll at A&M-Corpus Christi must submit proof of assessment or exemption to our University to meet requirements set forth under the Texas Success Initiative. Under the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), all undergraduate students entering a Texas public institution of higher education must be assessed for readiness to enroll in certain academic coursework. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has approved the following testing instruments to be used to determine readiness to enroll in college level courses:

  1. ACCUPLACER
  2. ASSET
  3. COMPASS
  4. Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA)
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi only administers the THEA and COMPASS, but accepts scores from any of the assessments listed above. If transferring from a Texas public college or university, one's TSI status should be reflected on their official transcript. If transferring from a non-Texas college or institution, or a private Texas college or institution, please refer to our Academic Testing web site for a list of waivers and exemptions to determine your TSI status. Unless you are exempt or have received a waiver, you will be considered TSI-liable and will need to take one of the above-mentioned approved assessments in order to meet TSI requirements.
