Steps for Transfer Student Admissions
-
Submit Your Application
To complete your application, you'll need to create an account in our online system. Before you start, be sure to have handy:
- Your full contact information
- Social Security number (if you have one)
- Documents to answer the Texas residency questions
If you don’t have everything right now, you can start your application today and finish it later. After you submit your application, you'll receive an email with your acceptance letter, your student ID number, and your P-number (if assigned).
-
Access the Student System & Complete Your Re-admissions Checklist
After you receive your acceptance letter and welcome email, you'll need to access the student system and complete your enrollment checklist before you can officially become a student.
Once you've logged into the student system for the first time, you will need to complete your checklist for enrollment, which may include:
- Submitting your transcripts, if you attended another institution
- Providing your proof of vaccination for meningitis
- Completing the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) test or submitting your TSI test scores, if you took the test somewhere other than HCC
Your Enrollment Checklist
In the student system, choose the "My Checklists" menu to see which steps you need to complete. Your checklist will guide you through your next steps — like submitting documents and completing requirements, as well as registering for New Student Orientation once other checklist items are complete — so you’re ready to register for classes.
-
Meet with Your Advisor
After completing all of your checklists, please meet with an HCC Academic Advisor to discuss long-term goals, your program plan, and placement in reading, writing, and math.
TSI College Placement Test
Your advisor may ask you to complete the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) College Readiness Requirements to help determine which classes you should take.
-
Choose and Register for Classes
After you've discussed your program plan and class placements with your advisor, you can register for classes in the student system.
