Saint Xavier will match students' net cost of tuition and fees at Trinity for the duration of their program completion at Ðǿմ«Ã½. TCC students are awarded a transfer scholarship at the point of admission to Ðǿմ«Ã½. Then, once we receive a copy of students' TCC billing statement, our Financial Aid Office will add additional Ðǿմ«Ã½ institutional financial aid, if needed, in order to match TCC's net cost of tuition and fees.

Teach-Out Student Ðǿմ«Ã½ Process
- Apply online using our . The application is free, requires no essay, and can be completed quickly and easily from a mobile device! (Students interested in one of the Special Education or Physical Education potential pathways noted below can select one of our existing Ðǿմ«Ã½ majors on the application, or choose 'undecided, and answer "Yes" to the question regarding interest in Special Ed or Physical Ed.)
- Students should request a "Records Release" from Trinity Christian College by completing the records release form on their website, . The Records Release will include students' Trinity Christian transcript and other important information, such as students' billing statements.
- If students attended other colleges, transcripts should be requested from those institutions as well.
- Students should submit their 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid or log in to their 2026-27 FAFSA at and add Ðǿմ«Ã½'s school code, 001768, so we receive their results.
April 1 Priority Commitment Deadline for Trinity Christian Upper-Level Education and Nursing Students
Upper-level Trinity Christian education and nursing students (those who will be juniors and seniors in fall 2026) who are interested in enrolling at Ðǿմ«Ã½ this summer or fall were encouraged to fully commit to Ðǿմ«Ã½ by Wednesday, April 1, to ensure sufficient classroom observation, student teaching, and nursing clinical placements were secured for the fall semester.
Education classroom observation, student teaching, and nursing clinical placements are limited and depend on the availability and discretion of partner schools and health care facilities, which are outside the University's direct control. The process of securing placements occurs well in advance of each semester. We cannot guarantee fall classroom observation, student teaching, and clinical placements for upper-level Trinity education and nursing students who commit to Ðǿմ«Ã½ after Wednesday, April 1.
We encouraged students to complete the application process by March 15.
- Apply for admission.
- Submit a request to Trinity, so we receive your transcript and other important documents.
- Request transcripts from any other colleges attended.
To meet the April 1 priority commitment deadline, upper-level education and nursing students must have been admitted and committed to Ðǿմ«Ã½ by submitting a $100 tuition deposit by April 1. Now that this deadline has past, we'll still accept applications and assist upper-level education and nursing students as best as we're able, however, degree completion timelines will likely be extended.
Special Education: Ðǿմ«Ã½ does not offer a degree program in Special Education; however,
both colleges have been working diligently to identify potential pathways for Trinity
Christian College students who may seek to enroll at Ðǿմ«Ã½. Because this work is ongoing,
the information outlined below is subject to change. It is important to note that
Special Education is not included in the TCC/Ðǿմ«Ã½ Teach-Out Agreement, as Ðǿմ«Ã½ does not currently offer this
program. Therefore, the degree-completion timelines for these students at Ðǿմ«Ã½ might
differ from those at TCC. Despite these differences, Ðǿմ«Ã½ is committed to providing
TCC students with options. As part of these options, Ðǿմ«Ã½ will match TCC's out-of-pocket
net tuition and fee cost for Special Education students who pursue one of the potential
pathways outlined below.
PK-12 Physical Education: Ðǿմ«Ã½ submitted a proposal to add Physical Education to its list
of approved PK-12 programs. The Illinois State Board of Education reviewed and approved the program on Friday,
May 8. While PK-12 Physical Education was not included in the original TCC/Ðǿմ«Ã½ Teach-Out
Agreement, we'll work closely with students to ensure their timely degree completion.
In addition, Ðǿմ«Ã½ will match TCC's out-of-pocket net tuition and fee cost for Physical
Education students.
To Apply: To pursue one of these pathways, TCC students should complete the application process following the steps above. On the application, students can select an existing Ðǿմ«Ã½ major, or choose 'undecided', and select "yes" to the question regarding interest in Special Education or Physical Education.
Potential Pathways
Potential Pathway #1: Pair an existing Ðǿմ«Ã½ education program with an LBS1 endorsement.
- Ðǿմ«Ã½ offers a Special Education (LBS1) endorsement that can be paired with one of our existing education programs: Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Middle Level Education, Secondary Education, and PK-12 Education.
- The LBS1 endorsement consists of four courses (one of which is already required within Ðǿմ«Ã½ education programs) and a special education content exam, which need to be completed in addition to the coursework needed to finish the program.
- This potential pathway requires students to change majors from Special Education to one of Ðǿմ«Ã½'s existing education majors; therefore, the degree-completion timeline at Ðǿմ«Ã½ might differ from TCC.
- Ðǿմ«Ã½ will honor students' out-of-pocket net tuition and fee costs for those who pursue this pathway.
Potential Pathway #2: (Available only for TCC Special Education students scheduled to student teach in fall 2026.) Complete an Ðǿմ«Ã½ Liberal Studies program and be entitled the LBS1 as an initial endorsement from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
- Eligible students can transfer to Ðǿմ«Ã½'s Liberal Studies major, provided the student has met the Liberal Studies program requirements or will meet requirements by the end of fall 2026.
- Students will declare a concentration in Education (24 credit hours), which is expected to be largely or fully satisfied through already completed TCC coursework. Students will also likely meet requirements for a Special Education minor at Ðǿմ«Ã½, which will be added to their academic record.
- Qualifying students will proceed with student teaching in fall 2026.
- Successful students will earn the LBS1, entitled by ISBE after an evaluation and graduation.
Potential Pathway: Ðǿմ«Ã½ developed a proposal to add Physical Education to its list of PK-12 education programs. The Illinois State Board of Education reviewed and approved the program on Friday, May 8.
- TCC Physical Education students may enroll in Physical Education at Ðǿմ«Ã½.
- Physical Education was not included in the TCC/Ðǿմ«Ã½ Teach-Out agreement; therefore, students' degree completion timelines at Ðǿմ«Ã½ might differ from their Trinity timeline. We'll work with students to ensure timely degree completion.
- Ðǿմ«Ã½ will honor students TCC out-of-pocket net tuition and fee costs for those who pursue PK-12 Physical Education at Ðǿմ«Ã½.
