How to view and accept your Financial Aid Awards

JNET is the online student portal where students can check their Financial Aid status and accept their Financial Aid awards. Terms and Conditions must be reviewed to understand the terms of receiving financial assistance.

The following steps will help guide you through the process:

1. Visit Texas A&M-Kingsville JNET
2. To access your account, you will need your student ID and password.

Student ID
The Student ID is the 8-digit number and letter combination that begins with KU (for example, KUABC123) assigned to you when you were accepted to the university. Texas A&M-Kingsville will provide the Student ID in an official email or you may claim your unique Student ID by following the steps below.
  • Go to the Password Update Page.
  • Next to Applicant/Faculty/Staff ID enter your Applicant ID number (for example, K12345678) that was included in your email correspondence from the Office of Admission. (If you do not know your Applicant ID number, log onto your Blue & Gold Connection to retrieve it using your Social Security Number.)
    • You will use your birth date using six digits with no dashes (mmddyy). For example, if your birth date is December 15, 2001, you will use 121501.
    • Then, when you are ready, choose the “Next” button to continue.
    • In the next screen, you will verify your identity using the last four digits of your Social Security Number or the first two letters of your last name.
  • You will see your Student ID and University email address.
  • You will continue to use your Student ID to log in to JNET throughout your time at Texas A&M-Kingsville.
