Career Development Admissions Process

If you want to take a few credit courses but you have no immediate intention to graduate with a certificate, diploma, or associate degree, you may be admitted as a Career Development student. Here are the procedures you need to complete:

1. Contact the Admissions Office to determine if you should be admitted into a credit curriculum program or if you meet one or more of the conditions to be admitted into the Career Development classification. (High school students who wish to take College courses are typically classified as Career Development students.)

2. Complete an Application for Admission (PDF). Submit your completed application by mail to the Admissions Office, Tri-County Technical College, P.O. Box 587, Pendleton, SC 29670. A $20 non-refundable application fee is due at the time of application.

3. Contact the Admissions Office to verify that your application has been processed.

4. Register for classes on Career Development Registration Day for the best selection of courses.

Additional Information

Career Development students are not eligible for financial aid or VA benefits.
Currently enrolled/registered curriculum students are not permitted to change to a Career Development classification.
Career Development students who wish to change their classification to a curriculum status (accepted into a major leading to an associate degree, diploma, or certificate) must see an admissions counselor. The counselor will specify the procedures that must be completed before a change of classification status can be completed.
