Have you attended any other college or university?<br />

No. Have your high school send your official transcript directly <strong>to</strong><br />

us. If you submit your transcript before the date of graduation is<br />

date of graduation is posted. If you have taken dual credit courses<br />

from another college, you must submit an official college<br />

transcript as well. GED students should have their transcripts sent<br />

directly from the Texas Education Agency.<br />

Yes. The Admissions and Records Office must receive an official<br />

transcript directly from each and every institution previously<br />

attended. If you are currently enrolled, you must submit another<br />

official transcript once grades are posted.<br />

Are you exempt from placement testing?<br />

No. You must take the TSI Assessment in reading, writing, and<br />

math before you will be allowed <strong>to</strong> register. Please make sure the<br />

Admissions and Records Office has received your scores before<br />

you meet with your advisor or attend orientation. Your scores will<br />

determine which courses you should be placed in <strong>to</strong> ensure that<br />

you have a successful educational experience. Click here <strong>to</strong><br />

schedule a test date.<br />

Yes. Most high schools include TAKS, SAT, and ACT scores on<br />

their transcripts and most colleges and universities include the<br />

student’s TSI status on transcripts. Check with your school <strong>to</strong> see<br />

if your scores will be on your transcript. If they are not, please<br />

provide official test scores before you attend orientation, meet<br />

with your advisor, or self-register.<br />
