<li>Talk with your student about college plans and what career they wish to pursue.</li>
<li>Stay connected with student’s school work, grades and their testing skills.</li>
<li>Encourage your student to take challenging classes they can handle such as Pre-AP/AP/Honors/IB. Work
with your student to seek tutorial sessions when needed.<br><a title="AP Courses and Exams" href="http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/courses/index.html">AP Courses and Exams</a></li>
<li>Be aware if your student is on track for all standardized tests such as the PSAT,

office and/or <a title="Collegeboard.com" href="http://www.collegeboard.com/">Collegeboard.com</a></li>
<li>Talk with your student about a financial savings plan for college and begin the actual

representatives will visit their school. Talk to your student about the information
they've collected on colleges of interest. Help them research different college/university
websites for an overview of the school regarding types of majors, location, social
aspects and other areas of importance when choosing a college—information can be found
in their high school counselor’s office.<br><a title="National College Fairs Resource" href="https://www.nacacfairs.org/?_ga=1.90867871.466915677.1493409026">National College Fairs Resource</a></li>

<h3>Parents of Applicants and Admitted Students</h3>
<p>While students are the ones attending college, parents play an important role in the
selection and application process. Get informed about the details and your child will
appreciate your expertise.
</p>
<p>Applying is only half the college admission process. Once your student is admitted,
there’s plenty left to do.
</p>
<hr />
<ol>
<li>Enrollment Deposit
<ul>
<li>This payment lets your selected college know that you plan to enroll at that institution.
At TCU, admitted students who want to enroll must by a $500 <strong>nonrefundable enrollment deposit</strong> by
<strong>June 1</strong>. This is applied toward your student’s first bill, and essentially acts as a first
payment. The enrollment deposit is made on the <a href="http://my.tcu.edu">MyTCU Portal</a>, by <a href="/connect.php">calling the Office of Admission</a> with a credit card number, or in person by delivering
a check to <a href="/connect.php">TCU's Office of Admission</a>.<br><br>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Vaccinations
<ul>
<li>All incoming students under the age of 22 must provide record of a meningitis vaccination
administered within the past five years. Submitting your vaccination records to the
TCU Health Center allows access to the housing application. Please ask your student’s
pediatrician to use the <a href="https://healthcenter.tcu.edu/forms/">TCU's Official Form</a>.<br><br>The State
of Texas Senate Bill 1107 requires all incoming college and university students
under the age of 22 to receive the bacterial meningitis vaccine. For more information,
please visit <a href="https://healthcenter.tcu.edu/">TCU's Health Center</a>.<br><br></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Financial Aid
<ul>
<li>All students who submit the CSS Profile and FAFSA will receive a financial aid package.
Financial Aid is a tile on the <a href="http://my.tcu.edu">MyTCU Portal</a> and contains information for
all of the scholarship, grants and loans offered by
TCU to your student. You can easily accept these offers on the portal. If you’d like
to talk to someone in <a href="https://financialaid.tcu.edu">Financial Aid</a> anytime during the application or
enrollment process, send them an email at <span><a href="mailto:financialaid@tcu.edu">financialaid@tcu.edu</a></span> or give them a call at (817)
257-7858. <br><br></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Housing
<ul>
<li>TCU requires all first-and-second year students to live on campus. But with the amenities
and comfort provided by our residence halls, many try to live on campus for all four
years.<br><br>Once admitted students make the enrollment deposit and submit vaccination records,
they'll be eligible to complete the housing application. There are opportunities to
specify a roommate, or TCU is happy to match roommates based on responses from the
housing application. We’ve been doing it for about 100 years and we’ve gotten pretty
good at matching roommates that result in lifelong friendships.<br><br>Extended housing is an opportunity that
many students take advantage of as a way to
save money. Three students become roommates instead of the traditional two, and as
a result the cost of housing is reduced. During the summer, students may sign up for
extended housing.
