Term Activations

Each term a student needs to be Term Activated. Being term activated is a prerequisite process for enrolling students and calculating tuition. This process is done in Enrollment Services simultaneously when assigning enrollment appointment times.

Program Plans and Term Activations

To term activate we must know what we are activating. Therefore, a program plan is required. Term activations are attached to a program. The program attached to the term activation is the program used when calculating Financial Aid. 

Financial Aid and Term Activations

Financial aid only reviews the students Primary Program. A students primary program is defined as the program with the lowest career number in the program plan page. This means that if a Help Desk Certificate program is career 0 and the Associate of Applied Science degree is career 2. Then the student would not be eligible for Financial Aid because the primary program is not the degree but instead a certificate.  

Batch term activations are done in conjunction with assigning enrollment apppointments. Batch Term activations will Term Activate the Primary Program plan. The primary program is a students lowest career number. This means that if a Help Desk Certificate program is career 0 and the Associate of Applied Science degree is career 2. Then the student would not be eligible for Financial Aid because the primary program is not the degree to update your primary plan email enrollmentservices@tacomacc.edu. Indicate which plan should be primary and which other plans should be secondary.
