Admission to TCC

Tarrant County College (TCC) is an open-admission institution. This means any person can be admitted, regardless of their educational background. We do not require standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT, and there is no application fee.

However, foreign nationals who wish to study at TCC under the F-1 visa program have additional requirements which must be met before TCC can issue the federal document they need to apply for this visa. Learn about applying to TCC as an F-1 visa student.

TCC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, genetic information or veteran status in its application and admission processes, educational (including vocational) programs and activities, facilities, or employment policies, procedures and processes.

Students are encouraged to apply for admission using the online application through the TCC website. Applications may also be completed in person at any campus Admissions and Registrar Office.

Admission to Tarrant County College (TCC) does not guarantee acceptance into specific Selective Admission Programs. Students should consult the catalog, website, program brochure, program coordinator, campus Admissions and Registrar Office, or the Advising and Student Success Center for additional information concerning specialized program requirements.

Through its program of courses in developmental English and English as a Second Language, TCC seeks to ensure that a deficiency in English language skills will not be an obstacle to success in any educational program.

Tarrant County College reserves the right to refuse enrollment to any applicant/student who does not comply with College policy or procedures, or whose enrollment would be incompatible with the aims and objectives of the College, or whose presence on campus, in the judgment of the College, would not be in the best interest of the student or the College.
