Financial Aid Consortium

Tarleton State University participates in a financial aid consortium program, which coordinates credit hours between partner institutions to financially assist students. Students may only receive financial aid from one institution during a term. Undergraduate students must be enrolled at Tarleton State University with a minimum of 3 hours in the semester in which the consortium is requested. Consortium agreements are available in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. Students must fill out a consortium agreement each semester they participate in the program and return the completed consortium agreement to the Office of Financial Aid prior to the 12th class day for processing.

Notification of participation in the financial aid consortium will be emailed to the student’s go.tarleton.edu email address. Students should always check their go.tarleton.edu account or forward it to their personal email. For help with your Tarleton email account, please email the Helpdesk.

• Courses taken at the community college (host institution) are verified by the Registrar’s Office for transferability and use towards a degree plan.
• Students are encouraged to verify the transferability of their courses to Tarleton prior to submitting the consortium agreement. TCCNS Developmental and audited courses are not eligible for the financial aid consortium.
• Courses approved for the consortium agreement will be added to the students’ Tarleton registration, increasing the number of hours they are registered for in a given semester.
• Tuition and fees will be charged separately for the courses taken at the respective community college (host institution).
• Make satisfactory academic progress as specified by the Tarleton State University Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.
• You must request an official transcript to be sent to Tarleton State University immediately upon completion of the courses at the community college. A hold will be placed on your record until this transcript is received.
