For a name or SSN change, the name and SSN on the student’s social security card must match the name and SSN on the student’s CTC student record. If student submits a name change request and has not updated the social security card, the name change will not be processed.

Social Security Number
A student’s Social Security number is required to receive federal financial aid disbursements and an end-of-year 1098-T tax form for reporting tuition payments. If CTC does not receive or cannot confirm a student’s Social Security number, CTC will be unable to provide these services to a student.
In addition, the social security number is important for purposes of matching the identity of a student’s application, transcripts, and other related enrollment information; and to verify enrollment status for loans, deferments, employment, etc.
High school students attending a Texas public high school or Texas charter high school and enrolled in CTC for dual credit are required to submit their social security number and their high school Texas Student Data System Unique ID (TSDS ID). The TSDS ID and SSN are used to determine if student is eligible for the state’s Financial Aid Swift Transfer (FAST) program and for state reporting purposes. For students without a valid SSN, the Alternative ID (AltID) issued to the student by the high school is required in addition to the TSDS ID.
CTC Correspondence and Email
All correspondence from CTC to the student will be mailed or sent electronically to the student. For correspondence that is mailed, the last known address on the student’s official CTC record will be used. All correspondence sent electronically will be sent to the student’s email address on the CTC Admission Application until such time the CTC student email address “CTC EagleMail” is generated. Once the CTC EagleMail is created, all CTC correspondence sent electronically will be sent to the student’s CTC EagleMail account. All students are expected to check their CTC EagleMail frequently and should use this email for official correspondence with CTC. The method of communication will depend on the nature of the message. CTC will exercise the right to send email communications to all students. Undeliverable messages returned because of either a full in-box or use of a spam filter will be considered delivered without further action required of CTC.
Classroom Visitors
Children of students are not allowed in class. Parents must make arrangements for the care of their children during class meetings. Only service animals are allowed in class.
Individuals who wish to attend a class for professional or self-development but do not want to earn credit should consider auditing a class. For more information on auditing, refer to “Auditing a Class” located in the Admissions and Registration section of this catalog.
