ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Students who fail to make academic progress towards their degrees may have their scholarship suspended. Lack of progress entails failing below the college's acceptable GPA, deviating from the required class sequence, under-enrollment, retaking or dropping too many classes, or excessive class absences.
Students who are not enrolled and attending class by the first week of the semester risk losing their scholarship.
A student whose cumulative GPA falls below their scholarship's requirement will be placed on Scholarship Probation during the next semester. If their cumulative GPA is still too low at the end of the Scholarship Probation semester, they may suffer a suspension of their scholarship.
Students admitted to Explore Business, Explore STEM, or undeclared must declare a major after their second semester, be it Fall or Spring. Failure to declare a major could result in the suspension of their scholarship at Texas Tech-CR.
Scholarships are applied towards course credits, and do not cover the cost of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) course, book costs, the Student Services fees or the mandatory cost of insurance.
Scholarship applications are approved on a rolling basis.
