New CTC Students, First-Time in College

Applicants who have not previously attended any regionally accredited college or university are considered first-time in college (FTIC) students. All new college students seeking a degree or certificate from CTC are required to:

1. Complete a CTC Application for Admission at www.ctcd.edu/apply.
2. Any student who completed their high school diploma, GED or passed an approved high school equivalency test within the past 5 years must submit an official high school transcript or high school equivalency documentation (such as the GED certificate). Effective fall 2017 documentation must be received by the end of the second term of enrollment. (Prior to fall 2017 documentation was required prior to graduation.) If obtaining an official high school transcript or high school equivalency documentation presents a hardship for the applicant, other documents as determined by CTC may be accepted. If documentation is not received, a hold will be placed on the student’s record. General admission students who completed their high school diploma or GED more than 5 years ago are exempt from providing an official high school transcript or high school equivalency documentation. Special conditions may apply to students receiving federal financial aid or applying for specific programs of study.
3. Consult the designated CTC representative at your location to discuss a program of study and course selections.

All first-time new students are encouraged to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine if they may be eligible for student financial assistance.
