The Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP®) is an instructional program designed to ensure that students attending public institutions of higher learning in Texas and students entering educator preparation programs in Texas have the academic skills necessary to perform effectively in college-level work. Students not yet proficient in an academic area are required to participate in developmental education activities. The TASP includes a testing component designed to provide information about the reading, mathematics, and writing skills of students entering public colleges, universities, and educator preparation programs in public and private institutions.

Additional information and materials about TASP and other programs are available through the Internet sites maintained by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).

Testing schedules will vary. For more information on specific tests and scheduling, contact the Testing Office at 713.718.6011, or e-mail our Testing Secretary at: yvette.gonzalez@hccs.edu
