EmpowerEd financial aid for students experiencing homelessness

EmpowerEd is a state-funded program administered by the Colorado Department of Higher Education to provide higher education funding and support to individuals who experienced homelessness and were identified as being McKinney-Vento eligible by designated school personnel while enrolled in a Colorado high school.

FosterEd financial aid for students experiencing foster care or non-certified kinship care

The FosterEd program pays for the total cost of attendance for qualifying students who attend public institutions of higher education within Colorado. This state-funding program pays for the remaining balance of the total cost of attendance after scholarships, grants, and other financial aid awards have been applied.

To qualify for this program, students must have been in foster care or non-certified kinship care in Colorado on or after their 13th birthday. If you believe you are eligible for this program, notify the financial aid office at your institution or contact a Colorado State Foster Care Student Navigators. 

Transferred Credits Fulfilling LAC Requirements

If you are seeing that your transferred credits are showing up as a zero-credit hour LAC attribute course on your Academic Progress Report, this is known Workday behavior. It might look like you are losing transfer credit, but you are not. Instead, Workday is only picking up the zero-credit hour component of the transfer credit that meets the requirement.

You can see both the credit bearing TXX transfer component and the zero-credit hour LAC attribute course in your Workday profile.

How to View Your Transfer Credits in Workday:

  1. Click on the "photo" icon at the top right of your Workday portal. Then click "View Profile".
  2. Select the "Academics" section in the profile's left blue column.
  3. Click on the Transfer Credits tab across the top of the section.
  4. Click the "Originating Coursework" column heading to sort the list in ascending order.
  5. Look for your zero-credit hour LAC attribute course, which should appear as a GS (General Studies) course.
    • This GS course is what fulfills your requirement in your Academic Progress Report.
  6. Directly above the GS course, you should see a TXX course (credit-bearing) that has earned credits.
  7. Both the GS and TXX courses should list the same class from your previous institution in the "Originating Coursework" column.
    • This confirms that both entries are linked to the same transfer course.
