Additional Information:
For the best possible financial aid package, send to the following address your final, official transcripts for high school/GED and all colleges attended:
Tri-County Technical College, Attn: Admissions Office
PO Box 587
Pendleton, SC 29670
If you send proof of an associate degree or higher on an official transcript from a regionally accredited institution, you do not need to provide your high school credential. If you are a current high school senior, send your official high school transcript after graduation. Applicants without a high school/GED credential may be admitted into certificate programs. Applicants under the age of 17 not wanting to take dual enrollment courses are required to meet with the Director of Admissions to determine eligibility for admission.
