Conquering the TSI: How to Submit Your Scores to Texas State and Avoid the Transcript Transcript-ion
Ah, the TSI. The three letters that strike fear (and maybe a little boredom) into the hearts of many a Texas college hopeful. You've aced the test, you're ready to conquer Texas State's beautiful campus (and maybe its legendary Bobcat Burgers), but there's one last hurdle: submitting those TSI scores. Fear not, future Bobcat! This guide will be your Yoda, leading you through the mystical world of transcript submissions with the grace of a flamingo and the speed of a cheetah (okay, maybe a chill armadillo, but hey, armadillos are cool).
Step 1: Choose Your Weapon (of Score Submission)
Texas State, in its infinite wisdom, offers you two ways to submit your scores:
-
The Formidable Form: Head over to Texas State's Testing Services website. There, nestled amongst all the official jargon, you'll find a form called "Submit TSI Scores." Fill it out like a champ, hit submit, and voila! Your scores are on their way (hopefully faster than a greased watermelon rolling down a hill).
-
The Accuplacer Whisperer: Did you know your trusty TSIA test is powered by Accuplacer? Think of them as TSI's secret twin. You can log in to the Accuplacer student portal and use the "Share Score Report" option. Just pick Texas State from the recipient list, and your scores will practically teleport over.
Important Note: This option only works for the new-and-improved TSIA2 scores. If you took the older version (TSIA1), stick with the Formidable Form.
Step 2: Don't Be a Social Security Scatterbrain
This might seem obvious, but hey, sometimes the obvious needs saying. Make sure you have your Social Security number handy when submitting your scores. This little number is your key to unlocking your academic destiny (or at least getting your courses placed).
Step 3: Patience, Young Padawan
Once you've submitted your scores, take a deep breath and relax. It might take a few days for Texas State to receive and process them. Don't be like that meme-worthy hamster refreshing the page every two seconds. Just chill, maybe take a nap under a majestic cypress tree on campus (pro tip: they're great for napping).
Bonus Round: Transcript Triumph!
While submitting your TSI scores is a major victory, you might still need to send your official transcripts from your high school (or previous college). Do not confuse these with your TSI scores! Transcripts are like detailed report cards of your academic history, while TSI scores are just a snapshot of your basic skills.
Remember: Check Texas State's admissions website for specific instructions on submitting transcripts.
There you have it, folks! With these handy tips, submitting your TSI scores to Texas State will be a breeze. Now get out there and conquer that campus (and maybe grab a Bobcat Burger or two – you deserve it!).
