Ready to Get Started?

Step One: Complete the FTCC application

This also includes completing the Residency Determination System (RDS) questionnaire to determine your tuition rate.

If you feel that you were incorrectly listed as an out-of-state student paying out-of-state tuition rates, please contact RDS at 1-844-319-3640 or log-on to your RDS account to complete a reconsideration.

  • New students: never taken a curriculum course at FTCC
  • Returning students: has completed curriculum courses
    • Must reapply after one academic year of nonattendance.
  • If you are enrolled in a Health, Cosmetology or Funeral Service program, please contact the department to determine if are required to reapply.

 

Step Two: Submit Official Transcripts

  • An official high school, GED®, AHS, or HiSET® transcript is required for program approval and financial aid.
    • High school transcripts must show your completed or final graduation date.
    • Home-schooled students must submit a copy of the home school’s approved registration from the state in which they are registered and an official sealed and notarized transcript including the graduation date.
  • College graduates – Submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended in order to have your courses evaluated for potential transfer credit.
    • Grades from transfer credits are not calculated in your FTCC GPA.
    • Health programs may use grades from transfer credit to calculate competitive points.
  • Foreign transcripts from non-US schools must be translated and evaluated by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services agency (NACES). SpanTran is our recommended international transcript evaluation service, however, you may use any NACES approved organization. SpanTran has created a custom application for FTCC students to help them get the right kind of foreign transcript evaluation at a discounted rate.

Please have your previous institution(s) or their transcript service email your official transcripts to admissions@faytechcc.edu or mail them to:
