The myGateway system is where you will register for courses. It can take up to 24 hours for an account to be activated in the system, so if you have issues logging in after that timeframe, please contact the Tarleton Help Desk to reset your pin. 

*If you are a former Tarleton student, please visit the Former Student myGateway Login to access the system. 

Review the graduate scholarship listing for more information on both institutional and private scholarship opportunities for Tarleton graduate students.

Don’t forget to complete the General Scholarship Application each academic year to become eligible for available Tarleton scholarships. 

To determine your eligibility for financial aid, you need to submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The likelihood of receiving some form of financial assistance is probably better than most students and their families anticipate.

For more information, please visit the financial aid website. 

*Tarleton’s FAFSA school code is 003631.

You will need to speak to your program advisor about which courses to register for. Your advisor should also help you map out a degree plan for program completion based on when courses are offered. It’s a good idea to touch base with your program advisor at least once a semester. 

Once course registration opens, you can use the MyGateway system to add/drop courses.

You must pay your tuition and fees before the deadline listed in the university calendar. Failure to pay by the deadline will result in being dropped from all of your registered courses. 

Payments can be made in person or online in Texan Bill Pay through DuckTrax. Please visit the Business Services website for more information on tuition and fees. 

You may pay your bill in full or sign up for a payment plan where you will pay off your balance over the course of the semester. Learn more about payment plans.
