I understand that the TSI Assessment is for all first time
students pursuing a degree or Level II certificate. I understand that
if I am going into a Workforce Level I certificate program, I do not have to
test unless I will be a dual enrollment student who is required to test to be eligible for the program.
|
|
|
|
I understand that all first-time CBC students
must complete a “Pre-Assessment Activity” which consists of the
following: Please enter your initials in each field below –
stating that you read and understand each of the four areas of the
“Pre-Assessment Activity”. Once you agree to this contract and submit the form - this constitutes that you've completed the Pre-Assessment Activity.

Initials here: (1) the importance of this assessment, [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 or preparation
course – which will not give you college credit. 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.]

Initials here: (2) sample questions, [go to: http://www.coastalbend.edu/tsiresource/ for
sample questions and other resources to help you prepare for the TSI
Assessment]

Initials here: (3) course options, and [Coastal Bend College offers various course
options: NCBO - Non-Course Based Course - which is a non-semester
length course delivered in an intense workshop setting, Integrated Course -
which is a course that integrates two areas - such as Reading and Writing
together so that a student gets two courses for the time and price of one
course, Lecture courses (class-room style course with instructor –
face-to-face); Distance Learning courses (class-room setting, but video
cameras and microphones link you to other sites with other students.
The instructor may move around from site-to-site to have face time with each
area); Internet courses (do your course work from home, but some courses may
have you take a proctored exam at a CBC site); Accelerated Learning Academy
courses (go to: http://www.coastalbend.edu/ala)]

Initials here: (4) resources for students.

A good
site to review for additional information is http://www.coastalbend.edu/testingtips/
This is a good site if you need to work on how to prepare an essay response
and there are presentations that you can listen to from our case managers.

I am aware that I must have current picture identification and
CBC ID number (or social security number if I'm not going to attend Coastal Bend College) with me when I come in for testing.
|
|
I understand that I am not allowed to bring any electronic
device (cell phone, mp3 player, camera, etc…) to my seating area in the
testing room. I will leave my personal items in my vehicle, locker, with a
friend, or will turn the items in to the testing personnel when I sign-in for
the exam. The personal items will
be collected and stored at the owner’s risk. Coastal Bend College will not be responsible for any items
lost or stolen.

|
I understand that seven working days are required for
re-scheduling.
|
|
I understand that special test accommodations require
documentation and two weeks’ notice.
|
|
I am aware that if I do not score at college level, I will be
required to take developmental courses or may not be eligible for dual
enrollment courses.
