The Texas Success Initiative and the Texas Higher Education Assessement (formerly TASP)
Effective Fall 2003, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) replaced the Texas Academic Skills Program. All entering undergraduate students (unless exempt) are required to take an assessment test prior to enrolling in classes at state-assisted colleges and universities in Texas. The approved assessment tests are: THEA (formerly named TASP), ASSET, COMPASS, and ACCUPLACER. These tests have been approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, under Senate Bill 286, Texas Education Code, Section 51.3062: Texas Success Initiative, for use by Texas institutions of higher education as an assessment instrument for entering students.
