Step 2: Explore TechExpress
TechExpress is a powerful resource you'll use often! You'll find all your most-used
Tennessee Tech resources, including your Tech email, Wi-Fi password, T-Number, University
news and events, the campus directory, and so much more. TechExpress also automatically
logs you into all campus websites. You won't need to remember multiple usernames and
passwords for different sites; as long as you're logged into TechExpress, you're good
to go!
Eagle Online: This is the student portal you will use to access class schedules, financial aid,
and other student information throughout your college career. To access Eagle Online,
log in to TechExpress with your Tennessee Tech username and password and click the Eagle quickLink.
Tech Email: Every new student at Tech is given a Tech email account. Your email will be the primary
communication method for Financial Aid, Scholarships, and more, so keep your eyes
peeled for exciting updates. To access your email, log in to TechExpress (if you aren’t already logged in) and click the Mail quickLink.
Step 3: Apply for Scholarships!
Tennessee Tech has a single scholarship application that automatically puts you in the running for over 675 scholarships, many of which are renewable for up to four years. Be sure to apply as early as possible!
To complete the University's scholarship application, new students must be admitted to Tennessee Tech. Tennessee Tech's scholarship application must be completed each year.
The scholarship deadlines are listed below:
-
-
- New Freshmen - December 15 for the next Fall semester
- Transfer Students - May 1 for the next Fall semester (January 15 priority deadline)
-
Applying for scholarships is done through your Tech Express portal. Once you log in to TechExpress, select the ‘ScholrWeb’ quickLink icon to access Scholar Web and begin your scholarship
application!
Step 4: Submit Your FAFSA
In order to be eligible for financial aid, you must have a FAFSA on file. This is something you must do every year as a college student, but it is particularly important to ensure you get as much aid as you can in your freshman year. To automatically send us your FAFSA information, add Tennessee Tech to your FAFSA application using our official code: 003523.
If you have questions about your financial aid, email financialaid@tntech.edu.
Step 5: Accept Your Scholarships
Being awarded a scholarship does not mean you automatically receive it; you must either accept or decline the award before the deadline, given on the award letter or email, in order to secure it. Make sure you check your Tech email often for notices of awards. You can check your award status and accept scholarships by going to TechExpress and selecting the "ScholrWeb" quickLink.
If you have questions about your scholarships, email scholarships@tntech.edu.
Step 6: Apply for Housing
One of the most exciting parts of your college experience is living on campus! We have 15 residential halls available, as well as Tech Village apartments, so you can find the best fit for you.

If you have any questions about living on campus, email reslife@tntech.edu.
Step 7: Register for Orientation
Orientation is your next step in the enrollment process, including registering for classes. The Office of New Student & Family Programs has created a variety of orientation programs for new students and their families to help ease your transition to campus. During orientation, you will learn about campus resources, academics, advisement & course registration, and life as a Golden Eagle.
The following documents are required before attending orientation:
- Submit Health Services Documentation
- Check for Missing Admissions Requirements
- Verify Selective Service (if male and 18+)
- Apply for Housing (if living on campus)
