Students 18 years of age or older are eligible for admission. Other students may be admitted under special admissions requirements. Collin College reserves the right to guide the placement of students, which may include assessments, interviews and a review of past academic performance.

Apply for admission online at collin.edu . Ensure an early registration time by having all official college or university transcripts sent to Collin College. If no college has been attended, send the official high school transcript or copy of the GED.

Application processing requires 2-3 business days. Students will receive their username and password through email when processing is complete. Official transcripts are required from all regionally accredited colleges/universities attended. Failure to provide a transcript will result in future registration at Collin College being blocked and ineligibility to receive Collin College transcripts. If no college/university has been attended, a high school transcript or GED is required.

Documents and transcripts submitted for admission become the property of Collin College and will not be returned to the applicant.

Students who have an outstanding balance are subject to being dropped from all classes for nonpayment of remaining tuition. In some cases, a high school transcript and a copy of the Texas Driver’s License or ID card will be required for admissions. These items will be used to facilitate the decision about a student’s residency status.

Students not documenting county or state residency prior to the census date of the term will be charged the higher rate. Tuition refunds due to residency changes will only be made for college errors if documentationwasnotsubmittedbeforecensus(seetheacademiccalendarfordate).

All incoming college students in Texas are required to take the TSI Assessment, unless exemption has been met. Based on assessment results, a student may either be enrolled in a college-level course that matches his/her skill level or placed in the appropriate developmental course or intervention to improve skills and prepare the student for success in college-level courses.

Refund credits are calculated as specified by the Texas Higher EducationCoordinatingBoard(THECB)refundrules.Refundsfor100percent are only issued for drops occurring prior to each session start date, which varies depending on the week the course begins and the duration of the course.

As of the first day of each summer session, refund credits for dropped/withdrawn courseswillbereducedto70percentandthengraduateddowntonorefund credit, per the THECB refund schedule. Students should consider the financial consequences before making schedule changes. Students in cancelled classes, who do not add another class, will automatically be dropped and a full refund, less nonrefundable fees, issued during the scheduled refund process. Any credits generated on a student account will be applied to any outstanding charges, before a refund is processed. Because Collin offers multiple summer sessions to provide maximum scheduling opportunity for students, tuition credits are scheduled for refund processing beginning the week of June 8. Refunds are generally issuedinthesameformasthepaymentreceived.(Note:Somesystemprocessesresultinrefundtypesthatvaryfromtheinitialpaymenttype.)Cash and check payments will be refunded electronically or by paper check. To expedite refunds, students are encouraged to establish electronic refunds through CougarWeb: From Student Quicklinks, select the Student Quicklink Pay by Credit Card/Check, then Collin County Account Suite.

hyBRID COuRSES Hybrid courses are a combination of on-site and online delivery.

DISTRICT vETERAN-CENTERED COuRSES Veteran-centered courses meet expected student learning outcomes of the college course, but include additional topics that are of interest to students who are veterans. Classes are “military-friendly” with professors who are aware of special circumstances such as impending deployment of students, IRR status, VA regulations and GI Bill education benefits. The purpose of this program is to allow students the opportunity to apply military service and knowledge in an academic setting.

diStanCe learningIn an effort to accommodate the wide array of student schedules and

learning styles, Collin College offers a variety of distance learning credit courses. These courses are offered through two methods of delivery: blended and web.

Blended learning courses require some on-campus time and offer the flexibility to incorporate distance learning with on-site instructional activities.

Web courses offer students the flexibility to obtain an education via the Internet. Instructional materials, readings, assignments, and in some cases, class discussions, may be accessed whether students are at home, at work oronvacation.Someweb(online)coursesrequireproctoredtesting,whichrequires students to use one of the Collin College testing centers or other approved testing site or service. If the student chooses to use an approved testing site or service, that student is responsible for all asssociated fees.

In addition, Collin College offers hybrid courses. Hybrid courses combine regularly scheduled on-campus instruction with online instruction.

Distance-learning courses may apply toward associate degree requirements.Manyfitintocertificateprogramrequirementsandthemajority fulfill requirements for bachelor’s degrees.
