TE Website and Policy Checklist
Review and update the tuition amount.
Confirm the TE award amount.
Review Mandatory Update information and update as necessary.
Review your TELO contact information.
Do you have a backup contact?
Review your TE Policies and Procedures
Consider updating your maximum eligibility statement.
Consider eight semesters or graduation, whichever is first.
What about transfer students?
Do you review the student’s transcript or confirm the transfer grade level with the Registrar’s office?
If yes, do you modify the maximum number of semesters?
If yes, do you notify the student?
Consider creating a Reduction in Force (RIF) policy.
Share information about TE eligibility at your school. Make sure your Enrollment Management Team is in the know!
Provide families with IRS Tax information by pointing them to the IRS Publication 970.
At the beginning of each enrollment term, confirm that your Enrollment Report is up-to-date and accurate.
If a student withdraws during the term or does not return for the spring term, treat this student as a Dropped student.
If a student does not enroll for any part of the academic year, treat this student as a Deleted student.
You will need assistance from TE Central to fix this issue.
At the beginning of each enrollment term, check your online invoices to confirm that Annual Membership Dues and all Participation Fees are paid in full.
Double Credit 3
DC 3 offers TE semester credit on the TE Enrollment Report for up to three students annually. The TE member institution pays the TE participation fee. DC3 provides schools with the ability to have strong import numbers.
To do this, open your TELO Portal, choose EDITING, and click the student option. The current DC 3 students will roll forward each year, provided the student maintains eligibility.
A DC 3 student who transfers to another TE DC 3-member school does not have to be designated as a DC 3 student. If a DC 3 student becomes TE ineligible, you can replace the student. You will be billed another participation fee in this case.
Remember that the maximum number of annual DC 3 students is three. By 2022-23 schools may have up to 12 designated DC 3 students. Program directions are available inside the TE Liaison Officer portal on the left under Instructions.
Your Enrollment Report indicates which students are DC 3 students.
Imports provide schools with the power to export. You are encouraged to consider this option as another way to grant additional exporting opportunities for your employees.
