You Aced the TSI! Now How Do You Get Those Scores to Dallas College?
Congratulations, superstar! You conquered the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), which basically means you dodged a whole bunch of placement tests and proved you're ready to tackle college like a champ. But hold on a sec, before you spike the punch bowl (or, you know, celebrate responsibly), there's one more hurdle: getting those scores to Dallas College.
Fear not, fearless freshman (or maybe you're a returning scholar, we don't judge!), this guide will have you submitting your scores smoother than a jazz flute solo.
Two Flavors of Score Submission: Fresh or Pre-Tested?
For the TSI Freshie:
If you took the TSI at Dallas College itself, then you're in luck! Those scores are already chilling in their system, waiting to be admired by your advisor. High five for convenience!
For the Pre-Tested Pro:
Did you slay the TSI at another Texas institution? Well, pat yourself on the back and get ready to do a little victory jog over to eConnect, the online portal for all things Dallas College. There, you'll find the TSI Testing Referral Form. Fill that puppy out with pride, and Dallas College will reach out to the testing gods (or, more realistically, the College Board) to retrieve your scores. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Important Note: Don't forget to grab your Individual Score Report request form and a valid ID. You'll need these to prove you are, in fact, the test-taking titan you claim to be.
Chill Mode: Alternative Submission Methods (if you're feeling fancy)
The Old-School Approach:
Who says snail mail is dead? If you're feeling nostalgic, you can always request an official score report from the original testing center and have it mailed directly to Dallas College. Just be sure to factor in some mailbox mambo for delivery time.
The Super-Sleuth Strategy:
Think you've got some serious spy skills? Wrong! There's no cloak-and-dagger way to submit scores. Dallas College won't accept scores delivered by carrier pigeon, smoke signals, or interpretive dance. Stick to the official channels, my friend.
That's a Wrap!
And there you have it! With your TSI scores submitted, you're one step closer to rocking your college experience at Dallas College. Now go forth and learn, grow, and maybe even take a nap (college is tiring, but awesome).
