    Frequently Asked Questions 
     
    When should my student start applying to colleges/universities?

    Students should begin to apply for colleges/universities in August of their senior year. The sooner they apply the better. Applying for early admissions to school could help your student secure more financial aid and scholarships.


    How do I know if my Dual Credit classes transfer once I graduate?

    Most general classes transfer to other universities (English, Math, Social Studies, Economics, Government, Etc.), but the best thing to do is check directly with that College/University for verification. For more information, visit the Texas Common Course Numbering System.


    When should I begin to fill out my FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)?

    Students should begin to fill out FAFSA 1st day of January their senior year of high school. All students must complete a FAFSA before a college or university will award scholarships or financial aid. Parents and students should apply for a PIN through www.fafsa.ed.gov prior to January 1 to expedite the application process.
