Adhering to the THECB rule 4. 55 “exceptional circumstances enroll without assessment but assess no later than the end of the first semester of entry level”, LIT will not TSI test until the campus fully reopens and has testing capability. New students who enter without ACT/SAT scores or showing TSI exemption from dual credit classes or previous testing, should be placed in college level classes for their first semester and required to take the TSI test at the end of their first semester, unless they have passed one or both Math 1314/1332/1342 or ENGL 1301 making them TSI complete. If a student only passes one of the above mentioned college ready classes, the student should take the placement test in the deficient subject area.

English

As a new incoming traditional student who has not taken ENGL 1301, who knows they need intervention courses in Reading/Writing should be encouraged to take developmental model of English courses or co-requisite model. A student who thinks they are borderline should enroll in the co-requisite model. All students who believe they are prepared for college level English should be enrolled in ENGL 1301.

Math

As a new incoming traditional student who wants to take a math course and know they need intervention should be placed in TMTH 0374 & TMTH 0174 or TMTH 0375 & TMTH 0165. Students who feel they are close to ready should be encouraged to be enroll in the co-requisite model math courses.

If a student needs MATH 1314/1332/1342 for their degree/program path, the student should either enroll in TMTH 0375 & TMTH 0165 - or-wait to take a math course until TSI testing is available to place the student. Students cannot take MATH 1314/1332/1342 without taking the TSI.
