Important deadlines to know for each semester:

•   Semester Dates

•   Withdraw Deadline

 

In addition to the dates above, self-registering students will benefit from learning these deadlines as well which are found in the academic year's Master Calendar:

• Early Registration and Payment Deadline
  • After a term's Early Registration payment deadline date, payment must be made at the time of course registration to ensure course enrollment status, regardless of the start date of the course. An outstanding balance on a student account will result in registration and transcript holds on the account, and the registration status may also be changed.

•   Hard Stop Registration Deadline (Last day to register for classes)

Instructions for clearing your holds should be explained when you view the hold in Workday. If you attend a partnering high school that Collin College manages registration for you will see a "Dual Credit Student" hold on your account the entire time you are in high school. This hold will be removed spring of your senior year to allow for summer/fall registration as a freshman.  

The Dual Credit/P-12 Partnerships Office completes registration for dual/concurrent students that attend partnering high schools. Homeschool and Special Admits students will register themselves through Workday. Please visit the designated page for your high school for information on your process.

To enroll in classes at Collin while in high school, your high school counselor or homeschool administrator must provide approval via the permission form. To complete a copy of this form, please check with your high school counselor or find your high school to make sure you are completing the correct version.

Dual credit students are considered non-degree seeking and are automatically exempt from the TSI until they have earned 15 credit hours and will work with the Dual Credit Office to apply their exemption to their account.

Once students have earned 15 credit hours, they are considered degree seeking and are required to take the TSIA2 or provide proof of exemption if they have not already taken a college level course in ELAR and/or MATH. Additional information and sign up instructions are available online here.

 

Once a student reaches the 15 credit hour limit, there are 2 options:

• Option 1: Take the TSI
• Option 2: Request a TSI exemption based on SAT or ACT scores
• Provide a copy of your unofficial score report to tsi_info@collin.edu
• Order your official score report to be sent to Collin College within 60 days

 

As a Dual Credit student you can have a partial TSI status or use a combination of the above to meet college readiness standards. If you are signing up for a workforce program only, please reach out to your designated Collin contact or the Dual Credit Office for assistance.
