The idea of registering for college can seem daunting for some students and their parents.  If you break down the process, you’ll get a better understanding of what’s needed.  That’s why TSTC has come up with this checklist for your convenience.  Check things off one by one and remember, when it comes to early college registration, the early bird really does get the worm. First registered are more apt to get the classes they need and are given early consideration for financial aid.
