How to Apply: Transfers with 1-29 Hours

When to Apply

We will begin to accept and process applications for the fall semester in mid-August. It is important to keep in mind that the application process takes up to several weeks for processing and an admission decision to be made.

It is possible for the process to take longer the closer you apply to the deadline because of the influx of application submissions at that time. If you secure admission early, you can move forward with plans for Financial Aid and New Student Orientation.

Transfer Procedures

To be considered for transfer admission, students must complete the following steps and submit the appropriate documents listed below.

Once your application file has been completed, please allow the Office of Undergraduate Admissions 2-3 weeks to process your application and evaluate your previous college transcripts. Upon completion of this process, a decision letter and transcript evaluation will be sent to you in the mail.

You are also encouraged to check your application status online throughout the process.

Students pursuing a major in the McCoy College of Business should be aware that the application deadlines for this major are much earlier than the standard application deadlines.

Step 1

ApplyTexas Application

Transfer applicants with 1-29 transferable hours must complete Part I of the ApplyTexas application.

One essay from Topic A, B, or C from the application must be completed. Topic C is strongly suggested.

Step 2

Official College Transcripts

Texas State requires an official transcript from EACH individual college or university you have attended.

Texas State is not responsible for contacting your previous college(s) to request official transcripts. YOU must contact them and have your transcripts sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Step 3

Official High School Transcript

For transfers with 1-29 hours Texas State requires an official high school transcript or GED certificate.

Transcripts must include your class rank or a statement from your school saying it does not rank students.

Step 4

Application Fee

There is a non-refundable $60 (US) application fee. Please note that Texas State does offer some fee waivers.

Send the scores directly to Texas State by providing the school codes. ACT #4178 and SAT #6667.
