Financial Aid Checklist for Continuing Education 

If you’re taking Continuing Education or workforce training courses, use this checklist to complete your financial aid file in eConnect and see if you qualify for funding like TPEG. 

Renewal Application

You must reapply for financial aid each year. You can complete the Renewal FAFSA, but be sure to update your assets and household information. Tax information will be transferred automatically from the IRS after you and your contributors' consent to share your tax information on your FAFSA form. 

Special Case Application

There are times when FAFSA information does not accurately reflect a family's financial situation and ability to pay. In such cases, it may be possible to review and reconsider their individual situation. 

Transcript Requirements

If you attended any other school(s), you must submit official transcripts from each school to Dallas College. We must evaluate them before we can award financial aid.
