Transfer Applicants  

Admission Steps

Transfer applicants who wish to be considered for admission should submit the following:

  • Application for admission with required fee ($25) - Texas Common Application *
  • Official college transcripts from each previous institution attended.
* Applicants to WTAMU are not required to answer page 7 ("employment information") on the Texas Common Application.

Fall 2009 Admission Requirements

Transfer applicants will be admitted to the University upon meeting all three conditions:

  1. Eligible for re-admission at the last school attended.
  2. Have completed at least 12 credit hours of non-development coursework with a grade of C or higher at a regionally accredited college or university (if less, apply as a first-time freshman applicant).
  3. Have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 on all college coursework attempted.

Students who do not meet the GPA requirement above will be considered through a secondary competitive review; provisional admission may be offered.

Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive a letter notifying you of your admission status (about ten days after your application file is complete).
