Distance Learners and Online Classes

Students enrolling in distance learning courses must meet general admission requirements. Distance learners who reside outside of Texas and who are bona fide Texas residents receiving in-state tuition rates must meet the same requirements as a student living in Texas.

1. Complete the admission requirements for the applicable student category (New CTC Student, Transfer Student, etc.).
2. If you are a Texas resident and are seeking to pay Texas tuition rates, you are required to (a) take all three sections of the Texas Success Initiative 2.0 (TSIA2) Assessment if you are not TSI exempted or waived and (b) provide appropriate documentation to support that you are a Texas resident.
3. Provide your own computer or have access to a computer and have reliable Internet access.
4. CTC Eaglemail student account is used for all official email correspondence and must be checked frequently.
5. CTC uses the Blackboard Learning Management System for all online, synchronous virtual and blended classes and most face-to-face classes. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the resources on using Blackboard that are provided at https://online.ctcd.edu.
