Transient Students (Non Degree Seeking)

Transient students are enrolled at another college or university (home institution) and are interested in attending CTC with the intention of transferring credits to their home institution. Students admitted under this option are considered non-degree seeking and are not eligible for financial aid at CTC. Transient students must list their home college on the admission application and are not required to submit official transcripts from previously attended colleges or universities unless needed to document courses to satisfy prerequisites. Official transcripts will be required if you later elect to seek a CTC degree or certificate. Transient students are required to:

  1. Complete the CTC Application for Admission at www.ctcd.edu/apply or the ApplyTexas application on the GoArpplyTexas.org.
  2. Sign the Oath of Residency and submit substantiating documentation as may be required. Nonresident active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces assigned to duty in Texas and their family members are entitled to pay resident tuition rates. To qualify, the student may be required to submit a completed Military Verification form or Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders prior to the census date of the first semester of enrollment that he or she will be using the military tuition waiver. Refer to the "Determining Resident Status" section of this Catalog for additional information.
  3. Consult with the advisor at your home college or university to ensure course transferability.
  4. If you wish to enroll for a CTC course that requires prerequisites, speak with an academic advisor and provide appropriate documentation that the prerequisite has been met.
