If you have attended another college or university since high school, you are considered a transfer student. To ensure that the enrollment process goes smoothly, we suggest that you start early. Complete the following steps as soon as possible to avoid delays in transcript evaluation:
 

1. Apply for Admission

Select one of the following application methods:

• Submit a secure online application
• Download a printable application to send to PTC via U.S. Mail
• Visit the Admissions Office on the Lex Walters Campus, Greenwood
• Visit any County Center
   

2. Apply for Financial Aid

You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) immediately to receive lottery tuition or federal financial assistance. Do not wait until classes start! Click here to learn about financial aid opportunities and policies. 
 

3. Complete or Exempt the Placement Test

Schedule an appointment to take Piedmont Tech's placement test by calling our Admissions Office at (864) 941-8369 or by calling any County Center. Unless waived by college personnel, you will need to take the placement test. The placement test is waived if valid transfer credit is awarded in English and math. To view guidelines outlining how transfer of credit is awarded, please refer to the Transfer Into PTC Policy.

Visit our Testing Center Web Site for more information on test exemptions and sample test questions. 
 

4. Submit Transcripts

Submit an official copy of your high school transcript or GED and any college transcripts. 
  

5. Meet with an Enrollment Advisor

Contact a campus near you to meet with an enrollment advisor and plan your schedule of classes.
 

6. Register for Classes

Register for classes and receive a printed schedule and a statement for tuition and fees.
 

7. Obtain Your PTC Pathway ID Number

PTC Pathway allows you to use the Internet to access grades, course schedules, tuition balances, financial statements, and certain student services. At the time of enrollment, the college will assign you a random PTC ID (P#) that is used to log into your PTC Pathway account. Your date of birth (MMDDYY) will be your temporary password.
 

8. Purchase Textbooks

Purchase your books and supplies in person or online at the PTC Campus Shop. On selected dates, books are also available for purchase at the six County Centers.
