Returning Student Admissions

If you attended HGTC less than a year ago, see your academic advisor for help with registering for classes.

Returning students are those who previously enrolled in an associate degree, diploma or certificate program at HGTC, but who have not been enrolled in classes during the previous twelve (12) calendar months. In order to be eligible for re-admission to the College, returning students must not have any outstanding financial obligations to the College, must submit an application for readmission. [Note: PACE or other dually-enrolled students must submit a new HGTC application (fee waived, if within twelve (12) months) prior to re-enrolling as an HGTC student in order to identify a major (program of study) and be recognized as a college student for financial aid eligibility.]

If you attended HGTC more than a year ago or have already graduated from Horry-Georgetown Technical College, you need to follow the steps below to reapply:

Follow These Easy Steps to Re-enroll at HGTC:

• 1. Apply for Admission
  

  Complete a Re-Admit Admissions Application either online or in person at the Admissions office, and submit the $25 non-refundable application fee.

• 2. Submit Transcript(s)

  If you have attended another college or university since attending HGTC, please have the school you attended submit 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.

• 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.

• 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. 

• 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.

• 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 complete the orientation 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.
