FAFSA Step 2: Complete Your Dallas College Financial Aid File

Set Up Your Dallas College Student Account in Workday

If your Dallas College file is missing any information, you will receive an email regarding Financial Aid Action Items Needed. You can also check your Workday account to look for those items. Check your email regularly. Sometimes even after you have completed all the steps in the financial aid process, Dallas College will need more information from you. If this happens, we will send you an information request by email. (If you do not receive financial aid funds when you expect to, it may be because we need more information.)

Submit official high school and all prior official college transcripts before the deadline.

  • ALL official college transfer transcripts must be submitted and evaluated by the Admissions Office before financial aid will be awarded and/or disbursed. Request transcripts be sent by your prior schools directly to Dallas College. Email StudentTranscripts@DallasCollege.edu for assistance.
  • You must submit official, final high school transcripts, GED transcripts or equivalent transcripts to Admissions (if applicable).

Select a Program of Study

  • Financial Aid will only pay for classes that are part of your program of study.
  • You must select a primary program of study, if you have not done so already. Schedule a meeting with a success coach to discuss Dallas College programs and select one: DallasCollege.edu/MeetYourCoach.

  • Please use your student email address when emailing Financial Aid.

Submit All Required Documents
