[Based upon your scores on the TSI Assessment – this will decide whether you are
eligible for a college level course or if you will need to take a developmental

course will help you build your skills so that you will eventually be able to
take a college level course. These courses give you a foundation in the subject
area that you need preparation in. The TSI Assessment exam is very important
and we want you to do as well as you possibly can.]
