Getting Started
We understand everyone's situation is different, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Let's get started.
Undocumented students will not be asked for a social security number or for a photo ID when applying to Triton College.
Paying for College
In July 2026, a federal court ruled that undocumented students are no longer eligible to receive financial assistance from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) for the 2026-2027 school year. Triton College is also required to charge out-of-state tuition as a result of the ruling. Please see ISAC for more information.
Who can I talk to for help?
Students are encouraged to connect with:
-
Financial Aid Office — for tuition, payment plans and financial options
-
Undocumented Student Support — for resources, advising and guidance
-
Academic Advisors — for course planning and transfer support
