At TJC, we work hard to make every student’s admissions process as smooth as possible. Applying and enrolling toward an online degree is no different than enrolling for in-person classes.

Before seeing an advisor for online degrees, you should have accomplished the following:

  1. You have been admitted and have an Apache ID number.
  2. You have submitted all required transcripts.
  3. You have completed placement testing and have determined your Texas Success Initiative (TSI) status.

Follow the steps below to become an online student at TJC. If you have questions, see our Distance Learning contact information at the bottom of this page. We will be glad to help you get started.
