Application Procedures for Admission to Texas Chiropractic College
Texas Chiropractic College's academic year consists of three terms or trimesters (fall, spring and summer) with classes beginning each trimester in September, January and May. Students may apply to any of these terms, however, the bulk of the students apply to the fall term.

Traditionally, it is preferred that students have a minimum of 90 credit hours with a 3.0 grade point average, showing a proficiency in life and physical sciences. Students, who may be marginal in any of these areas, are encouraged to contact the Office of Admission to discuss their specific situation.
