Steps to Apply
1. Fill out the Application for Admission.
The Application for Admission asks for information about you and your educational background. There is no application fee.
There are three different ways to submit an application to WTC. Choose one of the following:
- Online Application (quickest and easiest)
- ApplyTexas.org Application (if you are applying to more than one state school in Texas)
- PDF Application (printable and fillable)
A transient student is a student who is enrolled in one college or university (their home institution) and takes courses temporarily in another college or university (their host institution) with the intention of transferring the course credit back to their home institution.
If you are not a transient student, proceed to Step 2.
4. Take the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment or submit your test scores.
By law, all students are required to take the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment unless you submit proof of exemption. Proof of exemption such as TAKS, SAT, or ACT scores are not a requirement for admissions, but they are a requirement for enrolling in courses. Photocopies of test scores are acceptable.
If you do not have test scores to submit, you can register to take the TSI Assessment. Students who do not submit test scores will be required to take the TSI Assessment before they can enroll in courses.
5. Complete and submit your Financial Aid Forms.
Western Texas College and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) from the U.S. Department of Education can supplement your funds to help you pay for college. Students should fill out and submit:
- Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form
- Western Texas College Financial Aid Worksheet
