Registration Steps


 

 

Pre-Enrollment Orientation

^Top

Your college may require a pre-enrollment advising session.

Application

^Top

In order to complete the ApplyTexas application, you will need your Social Security Number and a valid email address.* Your admission status will be sent to this address. Applications are typically processed within 3-5 business days.

Your tuition will be determined by your residency status based on the answers you provide to the core “Residency” questions on the ApplyTexas application.

*Contact Admissions & Records for assistance if you do not have a SSN. An institutional number will be assigned in its place. If you do not have an email address you may set up a free account through various web-based email services.

For more detailed information, see Admissions .

Transcripts

^Top

First time college students: Submit official* high school transcript with graduation date posted or GED scores after you have graduated or completed your program. Official high school transcripts must include at least six (6) complete semesters and must be sealed or sent electronically by the school. By the end of the first semester of enrollment, a first time in college student must submit a final official transcript that includes the high school graduation date.

Transfer students: Submit official* transcripts from last institution attended. (To ensure all previous coursework is posted, submit all transcripts.) If courses are in progress at another institution, submit updated official transcripts once final grades are posted.

*Official transcripts must be received in a sealed envelope from the host institution or sent directly from the host institution to the appropriate college of the Alamo Colleges.

Financial Aid

^Top

You can apply for financial aid at any point during the academic year; however, we encourage you to apply by the Fall 2011 Process Guarantee date of June 1, 2011. Students submitting documentation after June 1 must be prepared to either pay their tuition in full or enter into the Alamo Colleges’ payment plan with the college’s Bursar’s Office. It is your responsibility to ensure that financial aid will be processed in time for the semester you will be attending.

All students applying for financial aid must complete and submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form.* Additional scholarship resources are available. Scholarship recipients should check with the Financial Aid office to see if a scholarship has been awarded.

*Additional forms may be required in Texas. State financial aid deadlines may be earlier than federal deadlines. Contact your financial aid administrator or your state agency.

Financial Aid communicates only through your Alamo Colleges email. Make sure to check it regularly!

For more detailed information, see Financial Aid .

Veterans’ Information

^Top

If you are eligible to apply for Veterans benefits visit Veterans Affairs. VA students must declare a major upon enrollment.

Testing

^Top

First time college students: Take the THEA or an alternative placement exam. If available, SAT/ACT scores should be submitted for evaluation.

Transfer students: You may be required to take the THEA Exam if your official documents do not provide placement information.

For more detailed information, see Admissions .

Disability Information

Prior to placement test, contact the office for students with disabilities for accommodations.

For more detailed information, see Student Support Services (on the left navigation bar).

Academic Advising

^Top

Academic advising helps you to investigate degree programs, understand your course placement, and prepare for course registration.

First time college students: You must meet with an academic advisor for individual or group advising.
Transfer students: You must meet with an academic advisor if you are on Academic Probation or Dismissal/Suspension.

For more detailed information, see Student Support Services (on the left navigation bar).
