Application Process Overview

We make applying to enroll as simple as possible, and we’ll be there every step of the way.

Step 1

Returning Students:

Log in to your Skyward Student Account using your previous login information, select “New Application,” and submit. You may contact any Student Success Coach from your campus to get your login information.

New Students Living in Texas:

Fill out the Enrollment Interest Form below and a member of our Admissions Team will contact you within 48 business hours to assist you with completing the application.

If you want to skip the Enrollment Interest Form…

You can create your own Skyward Student school account. Here are some tips:

Enter the name of the person applying for school as the “Guardian Legal Name.”
When you submit the request for an account, login information will be displayed on the screen – write it down so you can use it to log into your new Skyward Student school account.
If you enter an email address, an email will be sent with your student application login, password, and a new link to apply.
- TIP: Check the junk mail folder for an email with login information to your new school account. If you cannot find it, please call us at (512) 531-5500.

Step 2

A member of our Admissions Team will reach out to you to help you create a Skyward Student school account.
The Skyward Student school account gives you access to the enrollment application. Skyward will also be the place where you’ll get all of your important information from The Excel Center.

After your school account is created, we can help you fill out the application for enrollment, or you can begin completing it here.
Remember: You can only access the application for enrollment after you have a Skyward Student school account.

After your school Skyward account is created…

You have the option to complete the application for enrollment on your own. Here are some helpful tips:

Select the campus you would like to attend from the drop-down menu in Step 1.
A green check mark will appear on the right-hand side of the screen each time a step of the application is completed.
Click “Submit” when all steps are completed.

Step 3

After your completed application is submitted, we will review your application for enrollment.
You will receive a text message at the phone number or email address you provided in the application once your application is approved.

A couple of things to note:

We try to approve applications within 1–2 business days.
Missing or inaccurate information in your application may cause a delay in the approval process.
If you change your phone number or email address after you’ve submitted your application, please update this with us by calling (512) 531-5500.
Once your application is approved, an Admissions Coach will contact you by text message or email within one business day.
Your next step to becoming a high school graduate will be to attend orientation. This helps you get to know more about school policies, scheduling, support services, and any next steps to complete before you begin classes.
