As for the deadlines, South Plains College has a rolling admissions process, meaning there is no specific application deadline. However, it's best to apply as early as possible to secure your spot in the program, financial aid, and housing (if needed). Aim to submit your application a few months before your desired enrollment period (e.g., fall, spring, or summer semester).
Lastly, keep in mind that specific programs may have additional requirements or application steps, so it's a good idea to check the SPC website for more information on your intended program of study.
