We’re here for everything else.
Preparing to Start College
First Generation College Student
TC’s Educational Opportunity Center can assist you with enrolling in a GED or college program. They will help you achieve your educational and career goals and support you every step of the way.
Apply to TC
TC uses ApplyTexas, a statewide college application. Applying to Texarkana College is free. The application must be completed online. We have computers available on campus and staff to assist you as you apply.
High School Diploma or GED
Even without a high school diploma or GED, you can still get started. TC has classes available to help you get your GED and then transition right into college courses through our Adult Education program.
Transcripts
When applying to college you will need an official transcript from every school you’ve attended since high school. This means the transcript will need to be sent directly from your high school or previous college to Texarkana College.
Paying for College
Scholarships
Scholarships are gifts of money awarded by foundations or colleges. The requirements to receive the scholarships are determined by the institution. At Texarkana College we are offering a Non-Traditional Scholarship for students who are not coming directly out of high school.
Payment Plans
We want to do everything we can to make paying for college easier. That’s why we offer a payment plan for any remaining balance you may have after financial aid and scholarships. Contact our Business Office at 903-823-3331 for more information or assistance.
Financial Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form is required to be filled out by everyone seeking financial aid for college. By filling out the form you’ll see if you qualify for federal grants, work-study, scholarships, and loans. This will be completed online. We have computers available on campus and staff to assist you.
Veteran Services
If you are a United States Veteran with an honorable discharge, it is likely that you will qualify for some form of educational assistance. Talk with our Veteran Affairs Specialist about the wide variety of available options. Contact our Financial Aid department at 903-823-3267 for more information or assistance.
Support During College
Have a full-time job? Our class schedule is created with working students in mind. We have classes available all throughout the day and evenings, and we also offer courses that can be taken online on your schedule.
If you feel behind in a specific area, like technology, math, or reading, we offer free classes in our Adult Education Department to improve your skills.
If you are struggling in a class, need help with a specific project, or just need some guidance, we’ve got you covered. We offer tutoring year-round in our library.
For questions about Tutoring, contact Student Support Services in our Library at 903-823-3254.
We know technology is expensive. That’s why we offer access to computers and Wi-Fi on our campus. We also offer technical support for all TC students.
When on campus, look for TCGuest or TCNet to connect to our internet. If you have trouble connecting, contact our IT Service Desk at 903-823-3030 for assistance.
