I spoke to an advisor earlier in the year and she stated that if you have a degree you can opt not to take the TSI test, it will just take a few points away from your admission score. You also get extra points for having a degree so that will help if you decide not to take TSI. I'm going to call and ask if the TSI is a must or not for sure if you have a degree.

@Forshia, yes I believe so because I just spoke to Mr.Moody the nursing advisor & evrything has changed you accumulate a number of points for taking the TSI reading section only which Is added but you get an extra 10 points for having an associates degree which Is a plus.

Hello all! I submitted my application in the middle of march the first day it opened. I was not aware of any TSI reading requirement at that time. I had meet with Mr.moody and he mentioned they had done away with it. I'm a bit confused since I have already done everything needed. :nurse:

I just received an email from an advisor in the nursing and she stated that the TSI reading isn't required to be taken but you will lose admission score points for it. COM is a little far from where I currently live so I plan to take the TSI reading at a college near my home, which she said was fine.
