KILLEEN – Registration for the Texas A&M University–Central Texas Summer and Fall 2026 semesters officially opened Monday, April 6 for new and returning students following a steady 2% enrollment growth in Spring 2026. Course offerings include from three flexible summer formats of five-week, eight-week, and ten-week semesters that begin on Monday, June 1.
Summer semesters are designed to offer an opportunity for students to get a jump on the upcoming Fall 2026 semester or, university officials add, a chance to maintain the momentum from the spring.
“What we know about our students is that they are definitely not a ‘one size fits all’ population,” said Hannah McDonald, University Registrar. “That is why we created summer terms of different lengths, so that there would be a way to allow our student a lot of options.”
Registration for Summer 2026 continues throughout the summer, explained McDonald, emphasizing that summer semester courses start and finish on an accelerated pace compared to the traditional 16-week terms. Visit www.tamuct.edu or call/text 254.279.0421 for more information. Registration for Fall 2026 remains ongoing.
The University offers 31 undergraduate degrees and 20 graduate degrees, including a recently added master’s degree in nursing which is now accepting applications for the fall.
Undergraduate admissions is open to everyone who has completed a minimum of 30 college or university credits with a 2.0 GPA. New graduate degree programs are expected next year pending the outcome of respective accreditation processes and graduate degree admission is available to students who hold a bachelor’s degree and the GRE/GMAT is not required.
