Guidelines for Completing the ApplyTexas Application

Potential students must submit an admissions application to ApplyTexas. Completion of the application should take 15-30 minutes. If the application is not completed in a single session, the file may be saved. To complete the ApplyTexas application, students will need their social security number (if applicable) and a valid email address (admission status will be sent to this address). Applications are typically processed within 2-3 business days.

Tuition may be determined by residency status based on the answers provided to the core “residency” questions on the ApplyTexas application and residency documentation provided by the student.

Students without a social security number should contact the Office of Admissions and Records for assistance. An institutional number will be assigned in its place.

Once students have submitted the ApplyTexas application to TSC, they do not need to re-apply for subsequent admission provided there is no break in enrollment. In order to complete an ApplyTexas Application, applicants should complete the following steps:

1. Log on to ApplyTexas to create a student profile.

4. Select “Texas Southmost College” to which the application will be delivered.

5. Submit the application.

6. Copy the “application number” provided in the window for your records.

Once the application is submitted, all corrections and updates require a visit to the Office of Admissions and Records. Students will receive an email with a verification number upon submission.
