Transfer Students

Transfer students have attended another accredited college or university and are interested in earning a CTC associate degree or certificate. Transfer students applying for admission to CTC are required to:

  1. Complete the CTC Application for Admission at www.ctcd.edu/apply or the ApplyTexas application at GoApplyTexas.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. Submit official transcripts from each regionally accredited college or university attended. Hand carried transcripts will be accepted only if transcripts are marked official and in an unopened sealed envelope from the college or university. Unofficial transcripts may be used for initial advising and course placement. Students will not be eligible for an official enrollment plan until all official transcripts are received.
  4. If transferring from a private/independent or out-of-state higher education institution, you are subject to TSI requirements unless TSI exempt or waived. To determine if you are TSI exempt or waived, review the “Texas Success Initiative” section of the Catalog and visit with an academic advisor. CTC offers the TSI Assessment 2.0. Test results are for placement purposes only and not an admission requirement. Refer to placement/prerequisite requirements if enrolling in English, mathematics, or reading-intensive courses. Note: The Texas Success Initiative applies to all students residing and enrolling in CTC classes in Texas and bonafide Texas residents regardless of location who wish to enroll in distance learning (online) courses eligible for in-state tuition. Students enrolling in classroom courses taught at one of CTC’s Continental locations are not required to take the TSI Assessment 2.0 but encouraged to do so for course placement purposes.
  5. If you attended another Texas public higher education institution in the fall 1989 or thereafter, you should have been tested and/or TSI exempted by that institution.
  6. Consult with an academic advisor or a designated advisor at your location to discuss a program of study and course selections.
  7. Arrange to attend the new student orientation session. In-person and virtual sessions are available. Orientation is highly recommended but not a requirement.

Students on academic probation or suspension at the transfer institution may be admitted on probation to Central Texas College and must earn a grade point average of 2.0 during their first semester in attendance at CTC. Students in this category who do not achieve a grade point average of 2.0 during their first semester of enrollment will be suspended for one long semester.
