EAB Navigate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Student Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Navigate360<\/a> is your FREE, personal Tarleton academic platform from orientation to graduation. The app helps you navigate Tarleton State –  connecting you with staff, faculty, and peers, answering your questions, and guiding you to the resources relevant to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oscar P Chatbot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Oscar P chatbot<\/a> appears in some of the university pages, and also functions as a text message assistant who will text students regarding events, reminders, and important information. It works by utilizing an extensive knowledge base maintained by the Department of Student Retention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranger to Tarleton Pathway (RTP)<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Ranger to Tarleton Pathway (RTP)<\/a> is a special admission program offered by Tarleton State University in conjunction with Ranger College. Students participate in this co-enrollment program by taking courses at both institutions and may solely attend Tarleton State University once certain GPA requirements are met after two or more long semesters (Fall and Spring). In addition, the program allows the students to use appropriate Tarleton course credits toward the completion of an Associate Degree at Ranger College.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Tarleton Gateway to Success (TGS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton State University’s Tarleton Gateway to Success<\/a>, formerly known as the Texan Summer Bridge, is an alternative admission program in which select freshmen who have met conditional admission requirements are invited to a 5-week academic and social summer experience. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, participants become eligible to enroll in classes at Tarleton State University for the incoming fall semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
