Schedule a TSI Assessment

To complete the online Pre-Assessment Activity for the TSI Assessment 2.0, you must:

• select "Stephen F. Austin State University" as your testing site
• and answer the questions regarding all sections of the activity, even if your TSI Assessment only is for one subject.

Once all sections of the activity are complete, you'll receive your certificate of completion.

You cannot proceed without this certificate. If you misplace the certificate and delete the email in which your certificate was sent to you, obtain another copy through your practice app account.

Note: Some testing locations require a printed version of your certificate. You'll need to take the printed certificate with you to those locations; they are not able to print it for you.

You can choose from four options for assessment testing locations:

Testing at your high school

Ask your high school counselor if TSI Assessment testing is administered at your high school. When available, this is often the easiest option to schedule.

This option is usually free.

Testing at your local college

Contact the testing center of your local college to ask about availability in your area. You'll need to take your printed certificate of completion to your testing appointment.

Testing vouchers: If your testing site requires a testing voucher, contact SFA's Testing Services at 936.468.3958 to obtain a voucher for the section(s) in which the voucher is needed.

The testing fee varies with this option. 

Testing online through ProctorU

A secure online proctoring service, ProctorU allows you to take your TSI Assessment at any time, day or night. For students who reside outside Texas, this is the best option to pursue.

You must have access to a desktop/laptop, equipped with a webcam and microphone on a secure internet connection; this option is not available on phones or tablet devices. Additional requirements are available on the ProctorU website.

The testing fee varies with this option. SFA's Testing Services fee will be charged to your eBill, and you pay your ProctorU's proctoring fee on the ProctorU website when you schedule your assessment.

To proceed with this option, follow the steps below:

1. Forward your pre-assessment activity certificate of completion to sfatesting@sfasu.edu and request a Virtual Remote Voucher. You must indicate you want to test through ProctorU to receive the correct voucher.
2. Complete and return the informational questionnaires to SFA's Testing Services to receive the requested voucher.
3. Visit the ProctorU website and create an account after you receive your voucher from SFA's Testing Services.

Once you create your ProctorU account, you'll be able to schedule a TSI Assessment testing session, pay the proctoring fee and take the assessment. 

Testing at SFA

If you're unable to schedule an assessment test through the options above, contact SFA's Testing Services at 936.468.3958 to make an appointment for on-campus testing. You'll need to take your printed certificate of completion to your testing appointment.

The testing fee varies with this option. SFA's Testing Services fee will be charged to your eBill.

We don't receive your scores automatically. It is your responsibility to submit any initial and retesting scores. Your scores must be verified by the TSI coordinator before you can register for classes.

After you've completed the TSI Assessment, visit College Board's ACCUPLACER Student Portal website to access your scores. Your name, birthdate, date of testing and all scores must be visible on the documentation you send to tsi@sfasu.edu.
