Some courses have prerequisites — courses you must complete ahead of the course you would like to take. You must provide proof of successfully completing the prerequisites for any courses you are interested in taking. Proof can be an unofficial college transcript, test scores, etc. Those documents can be uploaded here.

Some non-degree programs might require an official high school transcript or GED-HiSet results. These official documents cannot be uploaded; they must be sent directly to the Southwest Admissions office.

Applicants who are younger than 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the required immunization health history form. The completed form can be uploaded here. For further details regarding immunization requirements, please visit  https://www.tbr.edu/student-success/immunizations.

Non-degree-seeking students are not eligible for financial aid through Southwest.

Non-degree seeking students are not assigned advisors and are responsible for class selection. You can proceed directly to registration. If you encounter a prerequisite error, you must submit the proof of prerequisite to the Admissions office. To register for classes, log onto your My.Southwest student portal and select Registration/Online Services.
