Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is observed each year on September 17 to commemorate the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, and “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.”
This commemoration had its origin in 1940, when Congress passed a joint resolution authorizing and requesting the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the third Sunday in May for the public recognition of all who had attained the status of American citizenship. The designation for this day was “I Am An American Day.”
In 1952 Congress repealed this joint resolution and passed a new law moving the date to September 17 to commemorate “the formation and signing, on September 17, 1787, of the Constitution of the United States.” The day was still designated as “Citizenship Day” and retained its original purpose of recognizing all those who had attained American citizenship. This law urged civil and educational authorities of states, counties, cities and towns to make plans for the proper observance of the day and “for the complete instruction of citizens in their responsibilities and opportunities as citizens of the United States and of the State and locality in which they reside.”

Exit Counseling for Student Loan Borrowers
- When a student who has borrowed student loans graduates, transfers, sits out a semester other than summer, or drops below half-time (6 credit hours), they must complete the online Exit Counseling for Student Loan Borrowers at https://studentloans.gov. The online counseling will provide comprehensive information on repayment options, repayment plans, loan deferments, loan forbearances, and debt management strategies.
- Not completing exit counseling requirements would mean you would not have critical information in the management and repayment of your federal educational loans. For this reason, students required to complete exit counseling will have a transcript hold placed on their account until this requirement is completed.
- Texarkana College will be notified via electronic file of a student’s completion of exit counseling, and we will remove any transcript holds at that time.
Senate Bill 1304, passed by the 81st Texas Legislature, directs institutions of higher education to provide notices to students (Texas Education Code, Section 56.014) Notice to Students Regarding Tuition Set Aside for Financial Assistance) who pay designated tuition of the amount of the tuition that is set aside for financial assistance. Therefore, Texarkana College is required by law (Texas Education Code, Section 56.033 (3)) to set aside a certain portion of a student’s tuition for financial assistance programs.
Community colleges are required to set aside at least:
- 6 percent out of each resident student’s hourly tuition charge excluding out-of-district charges. This set aside applies to resident students taking academic and career and technical education courses.
- $1.50 out of each non-resident student’s hourly charge for academic courses.
Notifications are sent to students via e-mail.
The set aside does not affect your student financial aid and it does not guarantee that you will personally receive financial assistance. The financial assistance that you receive is determined by the information you provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
Example of the Financial Assistance Programs funded from tuition set-asides are:
