Enrollment Certification Checklist

Review the following list of requirements for Enrollment Certification.
After registering for courses, enrollment must be certified.

Students will be able to register for courses after they have been admitted to the University. After you have registered, please submit all required paperwork for the enrollment certification process. Your enrollment will be certified by a *School Certifying Official, once all necessary documentation has been received. 

Military-Affiliated students must have met all requirements prior to transferring to Texas A&M University – Central Texas. Students need to apply online, submit all required transcripts, proof of residency documents, etc, prior to being admitted to TAMUCT.

Checklist for a Successful Certification

  • Turn in paperwork early!
  • Turn in all requested paperwork at one time.
  • Fill out the request forms completely. Incomplete paperwork will be rejected.
  • Let us know immediately of any schedule changes to reduce the likelihood of a debt.
  • Keep your contact information current; phone numbers and email addresses are the most common ways we will contact you.
  • Register for classes before turning in your request forms to our office.
  • TAMUCT Veterans Affairs staff CANNOT add or drop classes for you at any time. Adds, drops, and withdrawals from the university must be done through WarriorWeb or the Records office.

*Enrollment will not be certified by the VA (Veterans Affairs) Certifying Official until all necessary documentation has been received. Some students may use multiple benefits such as Chapter 35 and Hazelwood child or legacy Hazlewood benefits. These students will need to complete both federal and state requests for benefits as they are separate processes.
