Transfer Student Advising Process
1. Submit the following to the admissions office in the White Administrative Services Center: - A completed admissions application.
- Official transcripts from all colleges previously attended.
- Test scores (i.e., THEA, ACT, SAT, TAKS) if not listed on a college transcript.
2. Determine Texas Success Initiative (TSI) status through the Admissions office: - Remember, unless a student is *THEA Exempt or in a **THEA Waived certificate program, he/she must take the THEA before registering at a Texas state public institution. A local placement test (Accuplacer) may be required of some students regardless of their THEA status. If unsure about your testing requirements contact the Admissions office.
3. Contact the Transcript Evaluator in the Registrar’s office for an evaluation of transfer credits, 903-510-2123. 4. Meet with an Academic Advisor for assistance with course selection. Please take an unofficial copy of all transcripts with you: - The advisor helps the student with the following:
- Interpretation of test scores
- Course selection
- Degree Plan and transfer information
- Graduation requirements
- Course waivers and substitutions
- Information on campus resources
- Selecting a Major
- Information on the registration process.
5. Check the printed Registration Guide or view it online at http://www2.tjc.edu/register/ to choose course days and times.
6. Register online before the deadline listed in the Registration Guide. 7. Pay tuition and fees by deadline listed in the Registration Guide. Secure parking permit and student ID card. *Determined when an application is received. THEA status is based upon college credit prior to Fall of 1989, or scores from one of the following tests: ACT, SAT or TAAS. Students who are exempt from THEA may still be required to take part of the ACCUPLACER. See the registrar’s office or an advisor for verification of THEA status. **Includes students who are in a certificate program. See College Catalog for more information.
