TSI Clarifications
For underprepared students:
• IHEs must use both TSIA Placement and Diagnostic results for underprepared students to determine holistic placement (TSI Rule 4.55(c))
• Encouraged to use additional factors (HS GPA, non-cognitive factors, etc.)
• ABE Diagnostic results of 5/6 = Developmental education (TSI Rule 4.56)
– Students must be availed same opportunities as DE students
![Page 11: Access, Progress, Completions: TSI and DE Updates · TSI Clarifications College Preparatory Course TSI Exemption Rule 4.54 Exemptions, Exceptions, and Waivers (10) College Preparatory](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051410/603306a6e856204e0b54294d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TSI Clarifications
Math Pathways/College Readiness for underprepared students:
• Rules allow for 2 math college readiness designations:
– TSI-Complete/Met (for all pathways)
– TSI-Complete/Met for Non-Algebra pathway
• If a student changes from non-algebra to algebra pathway, IHE may require additional DE
• Students enrolled in any math pathways must be informed of consequences of changing pathways

TSI Clarifications
College Preparatory Course TSI ExemptionRule 4.54 Exemptions, Exceptions, and Waivers
(10) College Preparatory Course (CPC) exemption is valid two (2) years from student’s date of high school graduation and only at the partnering IHE that co-developed the course. Student must enroll in the applicable exempted college credit course within one (1) year of enrollment. Through MOUs and other agreements, IHEs may agree to accept each other’s CPC exemption.
Partnering community colleges and universities and their partnering school districts must ensure that students enrolled in the CPC understand the parameters of this TSI exemption.

TSI Clarifications
CPC Exemption:
• Students presenting with the CPC exemption who meet both provisions of the exemption but do not pass the entry-level course must be advised of options; students are not required to follow advice
• Reporting personnel should ensure they are correctly reporting this exemption (see CBM Reporting Manual Update)
• THECB will be conducting study to determine the effects of the CPC on student outcomes in higher education
![Page 14: Access, Progress, Completions: TSI and DE Updates · TSI Clarifications College Preparatory Course TSI Exemption Rule 4.54 Exemptions, Exceptions, and Waivers (10) College Preparatory](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051410/603306a6e856204e0b54294d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TSIA Administration
TSI Rule 4.56:
We expect that all institutions (including universities) and school districts administering the TSIA honor all requests by students to retrieve (pull) their test results, regardless of original test location. • IHEs now have access to TSIA results from students
testing at school districts (effective December 21, 2015)• Letter of clarification was posted on Test Administrator’s
Platform home page week of Dec. 7

Required DE Program Components
• Mainstreaming (i.e., corequisites, course-pairing) (TSI Rule 4.62(8))– Esp. recommended for students who are near college-ready (“bubble-
range”)
– Institution should determine eligibility criteria
• Non-course competency-based options (NCBOs) (TSI Rule 4.62(c))– Recommended for students who have demonstrated some mastery
but still have certain weak areas (based on diagnostics)
– Recommended as support for mainstreaming/corequisites
– Recommended for modular/Emporium-style interventions
• Integrated Reading and Writing – required at exit level; optional at lower levels
![Page 18: Access, Progress, Completions: TSI and DE Updates · TSI Clarifications College Preparatory Course TSI Exemption Rule 4.54 Exemptions, Exceptions, and Waivers (10) College Preparatory](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051410/603306a6e856204e0b54294d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rider 42-HB 1766 Report
Three Recommendations:
• Accelerate scaling of what works (Integrated Reading and Writing, non-course competency-based option (NCBO), mainstreaming/corequisite, modular/compressed models).
• Adjust developmental education funding to create incentives for accelerating college readiness for underprepared students in one year or less.
• Enhance collaborations with the Texas Education Agency and school districts to support increased college readiness for high school graduates.
