Congratulations on your acceptance to Blackhawk Technical College! Review the information below to understand what happens between acceptance and the first day of classes. Note: the items below may be completed in any order.
In your acceptance letter, we will send you a link to your personal and BTC email allowing you to sign up for an ARO session. This ARO session will include meeting your advisor, planning and creating an academic plan and registering for classes. Additional information regarding financial aid, payment plans, books, tools and supplies will be discussed.
You may receive college credit toward a degree or diploma for attending a different college or university, having professional experience, or taking college courses in high school. It’s also possible to be granted credit for career-related knowledge and skills you’ve already mastered. Learn more by visiting the Credit for Prior Learning page.
Paying your tuition and additional fees can happen at any time during the registration process; however, many new students pay after they have registered for classes. If you need financial assistance, our Paying for College page can provide you more information about financial aid, payment plans, scholarships and other types of awards. Please note: you will not be able to attend class if you have not paid your tuition or set up a payment plan.
Once you have completed your placement exam, attended an Advising, Registration and Orientation Session and paid your tuition, you can start preparing for your first day of classes. Check out the Welcome to BTC page for upcoming events to help you get started!
