Welcome to the Coastal Carolina University and Horry-Georgetown Technical College Residential Bridge Program Web site. The Bridge program is a joint venture between our two institutions and is designed to help each participant succeed academically in a university setting. The student will complete his/her first year at Horry-Georgetown Technical College and then transfer to Coastal Carolina University. This program is designed for students who have not attended any other institutions after graduating from high school.
Enrollment in this program is by invitation only. In order to be invited to participate in the Bridge Program, students must first apply for admission to Coastal Carolina University for the fall semester. The program is not offered to students who plan to begin college in the spring semester or during the summer. To ensure the success of the students in this program, enrollment is limited and students will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. If the program fills, you may be placed on a waiting list.
The Bridge program allows students the opportunity to enjoy the campus life of Coastal Carolina University while taking the majority of their classes on the Horry-Georgetown Technical College (HGTC) campus, whose Conway campus is located adjacent to the University.
The Bridge program offers the following advantages:
- Live with other Bridge and Coastal Carolina University students in campus housing (http://www.coastal.edu/housing/).
- Enjoy on-campus dining in the University's Fred W. Hicks, III Dining Hall as well as three other dining facilities.
- Travel between the two campuses via the University's shuttle bus system.
- Participate in Coastal Carolina University student life, including intramural athletics, student activities and events, health and counseling services, ROTC, and many other clubs and activities. The only activities Bridge students cannot actively participate in while enrolled at HGTC are Division I athletics and Greek organizations. However, all students are welcome to attend all Chanticleer athletic events!
- Save money on your education by paying HGTC’s tuition for the first year of study before transferring to Coastal Carolina University.

Admission to Coastal Carolina University for the second year of study requires the completion of at least 21 transferable credits and a minimum 2.25 cumulative GPA in the first year of study at HGTC. If the student meets these requirements and remains in good academic standing, he/she will automatically be admitted to Coastal Carolina University for the following fall semester.
