Admissions Quick Start

1 Complete An Admissions Application

To start the process of becoming a student at TBCC, we need to learn more about you.

You will need to complete an online admissions application to give us the information to start your student record.

Admissions applications are available on the TBCC website in the admissions section. There are three categories for students applying for admissions:

Credit: Students planning to enroll in credit courses or planning to earn a degree or certificate.

High School: Students who are attending high school/home school and are applying to take a credit course.

Non-Credit: Students interested in taking community education courses for personal interest, pre-college learning courses, GED preparation, or English for Speakers of Other Languages.

Select which category applies to you and fill out the admissions application If you have a question, or if you do not have access to the internet and need a paper copy of an application, contact Student Services at (503) 842-8222 ext. 1100, visit them at our main campus, 4301 Third Street, Tillamook or email studentservices@tillamookbaycc.edu.

2 Take Placement Tests

For accurate college course placement, reading, writing, and math skills must be assessed before registration. Course placements will be decided by reviewing multiple methods of assessment. Any combination of the following will be used: a previous college transcript or degree, Smarter Balanced test scores of 3 or 4 (with approved high school courses as needed), SAT, ACT, or other college placement assessments.

TBCC is also able to administer placement testing through the TBCC Library. The test is used to gauge a student’s academic strengths. This is not a graded or a “pass or fail” test. The scores are used to place a student into the appropriate courses. To take a placement test, contact the TBCC Librarian 503-842-8222 ext. 1720 for the assessment schedule or visit our main campus library.

3 New Student Orientation

All new students taking credit courses must complete a new student orientation. The sign up for new student orientation is located on the Admissions tab of MyTBCC. Dates and times are also published in the TBCC Schedule of Classes each term.

If you have questions about this process please contact Student Services by either emailing studentservices@tillamookbaycc.edu, calling (503) 842-8222 ext. 1100, or visiting them at 4301 Third Street, Tillamook.
