Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) and Alternative Assessments (Archived)

After you are admitted, but prior to registration, you must either present TASP scores or take the college alternative assessment. See Exemptions from TASP Requirements in this section to determine if you are exempt or waived from TASP requirements. Assessment is not used to determine admission except for students wishing to enroll in "special admissions" programs.

The Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) is required by state law to ensure students enrolled in Texas public colleges possess the academic skills needed to perform effectively in college-level coursework. TASP includes a testing component designed to identify and provide information about your reading, writing, and math skills. The program is very complex, and you are expected to consult with the college TASP Coordinator in order to meet the TASP requirements. It is your responsibility to be aware of all TASP regulations.
