Your Guide to Applying

TCICC evaluation will focus primarily on your college/university grades and your high school/secondary school performance. Our most competitive applicants have completed at least [n credits/points] of coursework by the time they enroll at TCICC.
If the following applies to you, follow the instructions below to apply as a transfer student:
- You have completed the equivalent of a Turks and Caicos secondary school education (approximately 12 years of formal education starting at age six), and have either an appropriate diploma or leaving certificates.
AND any of the following apply to you:
- You are currently or have been enrolled as a degree-seeking student at a college or university that is regionally accredited in the Caribbean;
- You are currently or have been enrolled as a degree-seeking student at a college or university outside the Caribbean that is nationally recognized by the country’s primary accrediting council/agency;
- You are currently or have been enrolled in a non-degree seeking program in the Turks and Caicos and will have completed 24 semester credits or more by the time you plan to enroll at TCICC.
If any of the below apply, you should submit a first-year application:
- You are participating in a dual-enrollment program, even if you are earning enough credits for an associate’s degree. (Dual-enrollment means that you are in high school and also in a college-level program.); or
- You are currently enrolled in a college or university program in the Turks and Caicos that is not regionally accredited; or
- You are currently enrolled in a non-degree seeking program in the Turks and Caicos after high school completion and you will have fewer than 24 credits complete by the time you plan to enroll at TCICC; or
- You withdrew from all your college level classes and have not received any grades for college coursework.
*If you’re unsure of your degree-seeking status or accreditation of your most recent school, we recommend you contact your school’s registrar’s office.
