Freshmen Applicants:
Students who have not yet earned a high school diploma or its equivalent at the time of application are classified as freshmen applicants, regardless of how many pre-college credits they may have earned through dual-enrollment/concurrent-enrollment programs. Students who have earned a high school diploma or its equivalent but who have not completed any transferrable college credits since are likewise classified as freshmen applicants, regardless of how long it has been since they completed high school.
Starting each August, students seeking freshmen admission can begin their Common Application for the following fall term. In order to be complete, applications must include official transcripts containing all high school courses attempted. Applications for the fall term must be submitted and completed by the November 15 Early Action deadline in order to be considered for admissions merit scholarships. Admissions scholarships are not awarded for the spring term.
Freshmen applications for fall that are received and completed after the February 1 Regular Decision deadline are processed provided space is available in the entering class, and are not guaranteed to receive an admission decision.
Transfer Applicants:
Students who have completed at least one (1) transferrable college course after earning a high school diploma or its equivalent at the time of application are classified as a transfer applicant.
Transfer applicant for the fall term who would like to be considered for an admissions merit scholarship must submit a completed application consisting of all official college transcripts no later than March 1 for the fall term. Admissions scholarships are limited for the spring term but students who have a completed application consisting of all official college transcripts by November 15 may be considered.
International Applicants will apply by the appropriate deadline based on the student types listed above.
If students do not both enroll and complete at least one course during the term for which they have been admitted, admissions will cancel their application and enrollment. To enroll as a degree-seeking candidate for any subsequent term, students must reapply, submit updated application materials, and pay all appropriate fees as applicable.
Applicants who have been denied admission to TU will not be permitted to attend as non-degree students. However, they may transfer to TU for a future term provided they meet transfer admission requirements after attending another college or university.
