In most cases, you will not need to take any additional steps to receive your financial aid for summer. Your aid will post to your account based on your status.
Financial aid will be awarded manually as you register for summer classes. Your eligibility for different types of financial aid must be determined based on how much financial aid you may have already used during the current aid year at any college, university, or technical or vocational school. Your aid eligibility may also depend on your Satisfactory Academic Progress status.
First Time Transfer StudentsYou may need to update your school of choice in the TN Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC) portal to be eligible for state grants or scholarships. If it is your first time logging into the portal, you will need to register first. Your eligibility for aid when you transfer to Chattanooga State will also depend on meeting SAP guidelines. |
Transient or Non-Degree StudentsContact your home school for a consortium agreement. Your home institution will pay financial aid for you to take classes at your host school (Chattanooga State). Contact the Financial Aid Office if you are a Chattanooga State student taking classes at another school during the summer. |
Your aid will post to your account once you have registered for summer classes. Your available aid will depend on your remaining aid eligibility, enrollment, and Satisfactory Academic Progress status at the end of the spring semester.
Your eligibility for aid in May might depend on your completed clock hours and Satisfactory Academic Progress status. Payment of Title IV federal aid, such as Pell Grant and Direct Loans, depends on the number of required clock hours you have completed. Your next federal aid payment may be delayed because of the extended spring break, or if there is a later start to summer term classes.
Contact the Financial Aid Office so that your aid eligibility can be determined as efficiently as possible.
