To access FFA Roster information, click here.

Your rosters have to have active status in order to open it .  Also, make sure your profiles are current.

General Reminders:

• Fall Roster Submission and Payment Deadline - November 1 
• Never use the Add New Student option if a student has been a Texas FFA member before. If they came from another chapter, you will need to Request a Transfer so their membership records stay with them (see below for instructions) 
• You can print invoices by going to Account Balances, selecting See Details under the appropriate entity, selecting the name of the invoice and clicking on PDF Invoice. 
• District, Area, and State are three different entities and checks need to be made payable to and mailed to the addresses listed on the specific invoices for each. Sending one check to cover all will result in an overage on one account, while still owing on the others.

For any questions related to membership of the Texas FFA Roster system, please email Gwenn Cain at gwenn@texasffa.org or Alan Been at abeen@springlake-earth.org

Roster FAQ

Affiliation Program

If you are choosing to participate in the Affiliation Program this year, there are two steps you must take. First, you must indicated in the Roster that you will participate (or opt out) PRIOR to submitting membership. To do this, log in and click Account Settings on your Dashboard. At the top of the chapter profile, there is a check box you will need to select (or un-check if opting out). Be sure to save the page after making the change. The second step is certifying that the students submitted on the roster represent all students enrolled in the instructional program via the “Affiliation Certification” This form must be completed every year and turned in to the Texas FFA Office. Affiliation Certifications must be received in office by November 1 - this is NOT a postmark date. You can email the forms to gwenn@texasffa.org. 

**Important Note** If you have indicated Affiliation, but the certification form is not received by the deadline, your membership will be reverted to regular membership. National FFA requires a list of affiliated chapters from us in November and will not make any changes after that point.

The link to Affiliation Certifications will appear in the Terms and Conditions that pop up when you submit membership. It can also be found on the website here.

Please keep in mind, the affiliation only applies to the state and national levels, any applicable district or area dues or fees still apply pursuant to area policies. Program affiliation also does NOT apply to junior membership.

Membership Deadline

The Texas FFA fall membership deadline is November 1.  Rosters submitted after midnight on November 1 incur a $25.00 late fee. Additionally, checks that bear a postmark after November 1 will incur a late fee. If you business office runs slowly, be sure to get a headstart. Staff has no latitude to grant exceptions.  The junior membership deadline is December 1.

Transferring Students vs. Adding New

Add New Student should only be used for those students who have never been an FFA member in the past. If you have a student move into your local chapter that was previously a member at another chapter, please do NOT create a new entry for him or her in your roster. Doing so impacts his or her membership history, which, in turn, has potential implications in degree and scholarship selection processes. Instead, please follow the following protocol:

1)The Advisor of the “New” chapter will use the Request a Transfer option from within the student section of the roster.

2)Select the chapter from which the student came (the old chapter) and type in the student’s name.

3)After submitting, the system will generate an email to all of the advisors of the old chapter. The advisor will then go into his or her roster, open the student's profile and utilize the Transfer Student option in order to move them to the appropriate new chapter. There will NOT be a pending transfer icon. The Advisor must manually find the student that needs to be transferred. 

4)Once the old chapter has completed this transfer, the transferring students will be listed on the “pending transfers” screen in the NEW chapters Roster.  Once the new chapter accepts the transfer, the student will be placed on the roster.

Junior Membership & Middle School AFNR Courses

If your chapter chooses to have junior FFA members, please keep in mind that pursuant to the Texas FFA Constitution, a student is eligible for junior membership, “until they become eligible to enroll in the Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources program.”  This means that when an agricultural education class becomes available for a student to take, he or she is no longer eligible for junior membership. For example, if your school offers an Agriculture Food and Natural Resources class to eighth-graders, then your Junior Membership will stop at the seventh-grade level. Beginning at the eighth-grade level, the student must be enrolled in the AFNR course in order to participate in FFA and they will be a full active member. This holds true whether the course in question is for local or high school credit.

*Special note on Greenhand LDE contests: If a student is receiving high school credit for an Ag class for the first time in 7th or 8th grade, then that is the only year they are eligible to compete in the greenhand events since that is their greenhand year. Greenhand event rules state “first year, first semester taking an agriculture class for high school credit.”
