TSI - Take the TSI at Home

You can now take the TSI assessment from home through Meazure Learning’s ProctorU Platform, an online service provided by an outside source contracted with College Board’s Accuplacer/TSI testing program. Services are available 24 hours a day by appointment.

This service is available to PAC students who are unable to take the TSI assessment at Palo Alto College.

Proctoring Fee for Proctor U: $28

How it works

Palo Alto College provides the student with a TSI 2 test voucher 

  1. Students receive a voucher notification email 
  2. Students create a ProctorU account using the same personal information on their voucher 
  3. Students register for the test through ProctorU, selecting "College Board (ACCUPLACER)" as the institution 
  4. Students take the test at a time that's convenient for them 
  5. A proctor guides students through the test and records the session 

Requirements include a computer with a webcam and microphone, a stable internet connection, and compliance with ProctorU's rules and policies.

Your ACCUPLACER test(s) will be proctored using Meazure Learning’s ProctorU platform. With Meazure Learning's Live+ proctoring, a proctor will guide you through the testing process while your session is recorded and made available to your institution for academic integrity purposes.
