Central Carolina Technical College has proudly sustained its commitment to provide high quality, affordable education to military members and their families. Our staff is available at all CCTC locations to assist military-affiliated students in making their academic goals a reality.

Whether you desire to complete a military degree, add skills to your resume or start your path to higher education, we have the resources to get you started on the right foot. Because we are military friendly, we offer a variety of formats to allow greater academic flexibility for unpredictable military schedules and deployments.

Eligible Service members, veterans, and dependents must receive approval from an Educational Services Officer (ESO) or counselor within the Military Service before applying and enrolling. Follow the appropriate guidelines to apply and for using your branch of service educational benefits and status. 

Active Duty Military and their family members stationed in South Carolina are afforded in-state tuition status immediately upon completing the Active Duty Military Verification Form or Military Dependent Verification Form.  Once completed, have it signed and verified by the Shaw AFB, Education Center Staff or Unit Orderly Room representative, and drop it off at any of our convenient campus locations. South Carolina residents not stationed in South Carolina may still be eligible for in-state tuition. For more information, contact Admissions at admissions@cctech.edu or call 803-774-3361.

CCTC waives all CLEP and DANTES testing administrative fees for Active Duty Military!  Our Main Campus Testing Center hours provide additional opportunities and flexibility to test when other testing locations may be closed.  After you have registered for your CLEP and DANTES exam, visit Testing Center Registration to schedule an appointment to test. Testing Center Registration is conveniently available to you 24 hours daily.
