As you know, there are new rules from the Coordinating Board that say that all students who are TSI met in Math are eligible to take any intro math course (MAT 1023, 1033, 1043, 1073, STA 1043, 1053) without having to make certain scores on placement tests or pass developmental math classes first.  To implement this new policy, OIT has written a script that will read a student’s TSI status, looking for codes in SZATXSI like TSIPRIOR, PRIVCOLL, NONTXCOL, etc., and if it finds that the student is TSI met in Math, it will write a score of 9 to SOATEST for a “test” called ZCRM.  The prereq checker in Banner can read this test score and allow a student to register for the class.  Similarly, the new TSI test administered by Testing Services is entered in SOATEST as TSI2, and a score of 350 or higher will allow students to register themselves for any of the intro math courses.  This means that advisors will no longer need to set overrides for students who are TSI met in Math but couldn’t previously register themselves for a math class.
