CURRENT STUDENTS

ACTION REQUIRED BY STUDENT:

You must request your FINAL OFFICIAL transcripts from each college you earned credit from and have them sent to Admissions and/or Registrar's Office by email to transcripts@latech.edu. Once all final, official post-secondary academic transcripts are received, and you are admitted, transcripts will be posted on the student’s Workday account Academics tab. They will then be reviewed by the Office of Financial Aid for eligibility.   Since you are a new freshman and the academic transcripts (college credits) were earned while still in high school, the document will be temporarily bypassed in order for you to be awarded aid. However, your estimated aid will not appear on your student account as a credit until all college academic transcripts have been received and posted. You will need to ensure that all official academic transcripts are sent to Louisiana Tech University as soon as possible.
