Online & Off-Campus TSI Testing
We always prefer that you come to TJC, or take the TSI at a local community college testing center. However, we understand that this may not always be possible. In that case, taking the TSI online or at a remote testing center might be an option.
Step One: You must complete a TSI Pre-Assessment Activity.
Step Two: There are two different ways for you to take the TSI Assessment:
- Off-Campus Remote Proctoring
- Online Proctoring
1: How to Take The TSI Remotely
You must have a computer with a camera and a good internet connection. TJC partners with Examity to offer online proctoring services.
If you choose Online Proctoring, you must first call our testing center at 903-510-2617 to pay the required fee. Once the fee is paid, please complete the following form:
