TSI Test

The Texas Success Initiative is usually just called the TSI Test. The purpose of the TSI Test is to help your college determine if you are ready for college-level classes in math, reading, writing. If you are not fully prepared, then the test is designed to help determine what type of developmental classes or intervention may be needed to get you fully prepared to succeed.

All incoming college students in Texas must take the TSI Assessment, unless they qualify for an exemption. The most common exemption is given for meeting minimum standards on the ACT, SAT, or statewide high school tests. There is also an exemption for current and former members of the military.

The three components of the TSI Test are Math, Reading, and Writing. Each section consists of multiple choice questions, but the Writing section also includes an essay question. The test is computer adaptive, which means that it presents questions which are more or less difficult based on your performance. There is no time limit on the test, and students are encouraged to carefully read each question before choosing their answers. Here is the test structure:

Mathematics Assessment: 20 Questions

Reading Assessment: 24 Questions

Writing Assessment: 20 Questions

Essay Section: 1 Essay Question

The TSI Test is based on the Texas high school curriculum. Some of the questions will be challenging, so you will want to do some test prep. The best way to prepare for your exam is by working through lots of TSI practice questions. You can start right here with our free TSI practice test. It is an interactive test with sample questions very similar to those on the actual TSI. Good luck on your test!

Academic Standards

Vernon College degrees and certificates require that students have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for graduation.

Improvement Plan Form

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Academic Improvement Program

Academic Improvement Program is an individualized course developed for students on Academic Probation to help students identify factors that may be preventing them from succeeding academically. It also helps students develop specific actions and behaviors to improve their academic performance. An AIP can help students reflect on previous semesters, develop strategies to return to Good Standing, and identify what resources are available. Students who are on Academic Probation will be automatically enrolled in our Academic Improvement Program through their Canvas accounts. In order to get back in Good Standing, please review the Academic Standards below.

As part of your Academic Improvement Program, you will create your own individualized Academic Improvement Plan that will help you identify your current GPA, potential obstacles that you are facing that could be affecting your success, and a plan to overcome your obstacles to get back in Good Standing.

Please use the link below to access and complete your Academic Improvement Plan.

Academic Standards

Vernon College degrees and certificates require that students have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for graduation. Academic standard criteria are designed to monitor students' progress so that students and college staff can intervene and explore options to assist students who have difficulty meeting minimum requirements for successful course or program completion.

Good Standing - Cumulative GPA at 2.0 or above.

Academic Probation - Academic Probation occurs when the cumulative GPA has fallen below 2.0. A student on academic probation is required to meet with a Student Success Specialist prior to registration and will be enrolled in an academic improvement program. A student on academic probation will be allowed to re-enroll if a 2.0 semester GPA or higher is earned in each subsequent semester. A student will remain on probation until the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher.

Academic Suspension - Academic Suspension occurs after academic probation when a student has a continuing history of low academic performance and their semester and cumulative GPA has fallen below 2.0. Students on suspension are denied enrollment and must sit out for one long semester* before re-enrolling. A student on suspension for a second time will not be allowed to attend VC for a full academic year. Academic suspension may be appealed by written petition to the Admissions Committee if a student feels extenuating circumstances, beyond the student's control, were responsible for the suspension.
* One long semester can either be the Fall 16 week, Spring 16 week, or Summer 10 week semester.

Academic Dismissal - A student placed on academic suspension for a third time will be academically dismissed. Students who are academically dismissed cannot enroll in Vernon College for a period of three years. Academic dismissal may also be appealed by written petition to the Admissions Committee if a student feels extenuating circumstances, beyond the student's control, were responsible for the dismissal.

Students can confirm semester and cumulative GPA online by the unofficial transcript in MyVC, by obtaining a transcript from the Office of Admissions and Records, or by seeing a Student Success Specialist.

Due to the structure of some specific programs, scholastic standards may vary from the above guidelines. Students should review departmental handbooks for specific requirements.

Semester Grade Point Average (GPA) - Includes all grades earned in all courses at Vernon College (includes developmental courses).

Cumulative GPA - Includes grades earned in all college level classes at Vernon College (does not include developmental courses).

Check lower-division course compatibility across 134 institutions of higher learning in Texas.

The Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) is a voluntary, co-operative effort among 134 Texas community colleges and universities to facilitate transfer of freshman and sophomore level general academic coursework. TCCNS provides a shared, uniform set of course designations for students and their advisors to use in determining both course equivalency and degree applicability of transfer credit on a statewide basis. When students transfer between two participating TCCNS institutions, a course taken at the sending institution transfers as the course carrying the same TCCNS designation at the receiving institution.
