Enroll at HGTC in 6 Easy Steps

• Step 1. Apply for Admission

  Complete an Admissions application either online or in person at the Admissions office, provide proof of lawful presence, and submit the $25 non-refundable application fee.

• Step 2. Submit Transcripts

  Ask your high school and/or college(s) to mail an official transcript to the HGTC Admissions Office;
  Horry-Georgetown Technical College, Office of Admissions,
  PO Box 261966, Conway, SC 29528-6066.
  
  Official transcripts can also be emailed (by the high school or college) to transcripts@hgtc.edu or hand-delivered to the HGTC Admissions Office in a sealed envelope.

  * The Admissions Office will use Multiple Measures as a means for admission and placement during the enrollment process.  High school transcripts and/or GED Scores will be reviewed by admissions/advising staff to admit students and place students into college-level courses when applicable

• Step 3. Begin the Financial Aid Process

  No matter how you intend to pay for tuition and fees, you should start the Financial Aid process when you apply to HGTC. Go to Federal Student Aid to create an ID then complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). HGTC school code - 004925.

  Note: Some students are asked to confirm the information submitted on the FAFSA through a verification process. Those students should respond immediately to the verification notice, because the FAFSA is considered complete after this process has been completed.

• Step 4. Meet with a Student Development Coordinator

  After you have received an acceptance letter, schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor to help you create your class schedule.

  If you have questions about the advisement process, email the staff at advisor@hgtc.edu

• Step 5. Set up a Payment Plan

  Pay your tuition and fees by the deadline to avoid being dropped from classes. Check the Academic Calendar for these important dates. A payment plan can be set up through your myHGTC portal.

• Step 6. Attend an Orientation Session

  Sign up for a New Student Orientation (NSO) session that you want to attend. If you can’t attend a session in person, you can participate online.

  Note: Once admitted, you will receive a Username and Password for access to myHGTC, your student portal. You will receive this information in your acceptance letter or by calling 843-349-8324 and select option 3.  Your myHGTC account will allow you to check financial aid, account balance, grades, email, and much more. TECH Central or the Admissions Office can help you if you have questions regarding the navigation of myHGTC.
