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 enrolling in online courses and are seeking to pay Texas tuition rates and you are not TSI exempt or waived, you are required to (a) take the Texas Success Initiative 2.0 Assessment (TSIA2) in the areas of mathematics and English language arts and reading (ELAR)  and (b) provide appropriate documentation to support you are a Texas resident. 
  3. Provide your own computer or have access to a computer and have reliable Internet access.
  4. The CTC Eaglemail student account is used for all official email correspondence and should 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 Welcome to CTC Distance Education.
