Do students count toward the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Criteria indicator if they meet the ELA/reading criteria on an assessment (SAT, ACT, or TSIA) and earn credit for a mathematics college prep course?

Yes, the TSI Criteria indicator gives credit for students who meet the standards on a Texas Success Initiative assessment (TSIA), SAT, ACT, or complete and earn credit for a college prep course within the respective subject area. Students must meet the criteria for both reading and mathematics but do not have to meet both on the same assessment/course. For example, a student who met the ELA/reading TSI criteria on the ACT and earned credit for a mathematics college prep course would earn credit for the TSI indicator.
