  1. Apply

    To apply, visit the ApplyTexas website to create an account and complete a two-year application.

  2. Claim Your SOS Network Access

    When you apply to San Jac, an SOS account is created for you to claim your login credentials and activate your account. This is how you securely gain access to the College’s platforms.

  3. Submit Proof of Meningitis Vaccination

    If you’re under the age of 22, you will be required to receive a vaccination or booster against bacterial meningitis within the last five years before you register for classes. This is a legal requirement for all Texas college students. Men B does not meet the state requirement, so please be sure request the MCV4 vaccine at least 10 days before the semester begins.

  4. Send Your Transcript

    Next, you’ll need to submit official transcript(s) from each college or university you’ve attended. These records help us determine which courses you’ve completed and will also be needed if you are applying for financial aid. Official transcripts can be submitted in person, electronically, or via US mail. Transcripts emailed to the College are not accepted.

  5. Complete Orientation

    If you’re transferring into San Jac with fewer than 12 credit hours earned, you’ll need to complete new student orientation prior to registering for classes. This course will show you everything you need to know about attending San Jac.  Orientation can be completed online or in person. Log into My San Jac and click on the “SOS Login” to sign up for an orientation session.

  6. Meet With a Program Advisor

    While all transfer students are encouraged to meet with a Program Advisor before registering for classes, only those with fewer than 12 credit hours earned are required to do so. Please note that all steps listed above must be completed prior to meeting with a Program Advisor. Appointments are offered virtually and in person.
