Set Up Your eConnect/Self-Service Account
If your Dallas College file is missing any information, you will receive an email telling you to view a
Missing Information Letter (MIL) in
Self-Service. 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. Please let Financial Aid know when these are in our system so we can request evaluation.

You must submit official, final high school transcripts, GED transcripts or equivalent transcripts to Admissions (if applicable).

It will be sent to your student email.
