Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment at an area junior/community college will only be accepted for Federal Pell Grant funding if the student has completed an Undergraduate Transient Form and had it approved by UT Tyler’s Registrar’s Office. This must be done for each semester of concurrent enrollment by the award confirmation date. In addition, the junior/community college’s Financial Aid Office must supply UT Tyler’s Financial Aid Office with a Concurrent Enrollment Form, indicating the number of credit hours the student is enrolled and that the student will not receive any financial aid funding from their institution. Please note that the confirmation of enrollment at the junior/community college cannot be done prior to the census date for that institution.

Colleges approved for Joint Baccalaureate Studies (JBS) at UT Tyler include Kilgore College, Panola College in Carthage, Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Tyler Junior College, Jacksonville College, Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Navarro College in Corsicana, Paris Junior College, Northeast Texas Community College in Mt. Pleasant, and the Dallas County Community College District.

Transient Students

Students pursuing degrees at other colleges and/or universities who wish to take courses at UT Tyler may be admitted as “transient” students. Transient students are not eligible for Financial Aid from UT Tyler, but could be eligible from their degree granting institution. Funding for transient enrollment is at the discretion of the degree granting institution. Students should check with the Financial Aid Office at the degree-granting institution for details prior to enrolling at UT Tyler.
