Lone Star College Testing Centers provide a variety of testing services to students. Most testing centers require appointments but for any center allowing walk-ins, please note that no testing will begin within the last hour prior to closing. Please contact the specific campus where you will be testing for more details on that location. This page includes contact information, operating hours and links to each campus testing center.
All students, unless considered TSIA2 Exempt, must take the TSIA2 assessment prior to enrolling at LSC. Enrollment in most college-level courses requires scores high enough to place into the college-level courses or students will need to complete all appropriate developmental coursework with a “C” or better.
The new TSIA2 exam begins on January 11, 2021 and Lone Star College now has a new version of the Pre-Assessment Activity (PAA) that is required before you can test.
