TSI 2.0
Before starting some dual credit courses, students may need to take the TSIA 2.0, often called the TSI. The TSI is a college readiness assessment that helps your school understand whether you are ready for college-level classes or if you need a little extra support first.
It may sound intimidating, but it does not have to be. The TSI includes math, reading and writing, and an essay, and our explainer video gives you a clear, student-friendly breakdown of what to expect, how scoring works, and how to prepare.

For families, that future can also bring real questions about time, money, responsibility, and change. Dual credit can help students save on college costs, graduate sooner, and move toward their goals without having to give up the support and connection they have at home.
