→ Test early!  Avoid the RUSH!  Students should schedule testing early enough to leave enough time for a retest if necessary.  SPC Policy:  Students must wait a minimum of two weeks between testing before they can reschedule for a retest - NO EXCEPTIONS.  Seating for Testing is limited.  Schedule your test early.

TSI Testing

Students who wish to enroll in dual credit courses must first satisfy state mandated TSI requirements.  Students may be exempt from this requirement based on TAKS, ACT, or SAT scores.  If not exempt, the student will be required to take the THEA or Accuplacer test prior to registration.  The following scores would exempt the student from taking THEA or Accuplacer exams:

• TAKS scores are valid for three years from the date of testing.  SAT and ACT scores are valid for five years from the date of testing.  Students may now be exempt in one area.
• ARD EXEMPTIONS:  ARD Exempt students are exempt through IDEA Legislations but not eligible for test exemptions in Higher Education.
