| How To Submit Tsi Scores To Ut Austin |
Step 1: Breathe. You Got This.
Seriously, take a moment to pat yourself on the back. The TSI is no walk in the park, and you should be proud of conquering it. Now, let's channel that winning energy into submitting your scores.
Step 2: UT Austin Plays by Their Own Rules (When it Comes to TSI)
Unlike some colleges that are happy to accept your scores from any testing center that throws a rock, UT Austin has a thing for, well, doing things their way. This means they WON'T accept scores from other assessments like COMPASS or ACCUPLACER. So, dust off those virtual boots and get ready to take the official TSI offered by UT Austin.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
Step 3: Take it Online, or Take it on Campus (But Maybe Not on a Bevo-Fueled Day)
The good news is, you have options! You can take the TSI online from the comfort of your own dorm room (pajamas optional, but highly recommended) or head to campus and tackle it in a designated testing center. Just be sure to register in advance – nobody likes a last-minute cram session, especially not the folks at the testing center. You can find all the registration info on the UT Austin TSI website – it's like a treasure map leading you to academic success!
Step Teacher Says, Don't Forget Your UT EID!
This is your golden ticket to testing glory. Your UT EID is a unique identifier that lets UT Austin know exactly who crushed the TSI and is ready to conquer college. Make sure you have it handy when you register for the test.
Step 4: You Took the Test, Now Let UT Austin Know
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
Once you've aced the online TSI or battled the on-campus version to a standstill, don't forget to notify UT Austin. Head over to their handy-dandy "Start Here" page (because sometimes the best journeys start with a single click) and let them know you've taken the test. This will prompt them to hunt down your scores and add them to your student record.
High Five! You're Officially TSI-tastic
Congratulations! You've submitted your TSI scores and are one step closer to becoming a Longhorn. Now, go forth and celebrate (responsibly, of course). You deserve it!
