Step Five: Registration

TSTC Marshall is currently offering courses through the Virtual College of Texas. The Virtual College of Texas (VCT) is a collaborative of 50 community colleges and the Texas State Technical College System. Through VCT, students register at TSTC Marshall to take distance learning courses from other colleges throughout Texas. Online courses are TSTC Marshall courses with the exception that the instructor resides at another college. Students register at TSTC, pay TSTC tuition, attend class online, and receive college credit at TSTC. Now that you have successfully completed Steps One through Four you can sign up for a course.

TSTC Marshall students may take online courses via the Virtual College of Texas (VCT). Randy Wickersham, serves as the VCT Coordinator for TSTC Marshall.
