What are the requirements for admission?

Requirements for admission to Chatt Tech are based on applicant type.

Do I have to submit my high school transcript?

You are required to submit an official copy of your high school or high school equivalency transcript.  Transfer students can review the Transfer Student Admissions page to learn about potential ways to exempt this requirement.

*If you submit an in-progress copy of your high school transcript, a final transcript with graduation date will still be required upon the completion of high school.

To receive transfer credit, all official college transcripts must be submitted.  You have the option to submit the College Transcript Waiver form to waive this requirement but will not receive any transfer credits towards your program.

I am a high school student. Where can I get more information about Dual Enrollment?

The Dual Enrollment Program allows qualified high school students the opportunity to maximize their education and career training by taking courses that earn college and high school credit at the same time!

Where do I send admissions documents?

We strongly encourage applicants to request transcripts to be sent to us using a secure, electronic sending service. If transcripts or other documents must be mailed, please have them sent to:

Chattahoochee Technical College - Office of Admissions - 980 South Cobb Drive, Marietta, GA 30060

I’ve submitted my application for admission. How do I apply for financial aid?

The application processes for admission to the college and for financial aid are separate. To apply for financial aid, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and list our school code: 005620.

You can check your financial aid status within your me@ChattTech Student Portal or you can contact your Financial Aid Counselor.

How do I find my Student ID number?

Your Student ID number is a nine-digit number beginning with 900 (also known as your Banner ID) and is the identification number assigned to you when you apply to Chatt Tech. Use our Student ID, Email, and Username Lookup form to locate your Student ID number.

I am a Georgia resident but I am classified as an out-of-state student. How can I fix this?

The most likely cause is that you have not submitted verification of lawful presence in the United States to the Office of Admissions. Verifying lawful presence is a requirement for all in-state students. Our document upload form can be used to submit this document. 

I was recently accepted, what are my next steps?

Shortly after being admitted, an acceptance email will be sent to the personal email address that was used to create your account. Visit your student portal to review your next steps.
