• Apply: students can start applying right after their junior year. The application is free and online (no essay requirement). Once this is complete, transcripts and ACT/SAT scores need to be sent in for review. From there, our admission team will review for an acceptance decision.
• Admission Decision: If accepted, the student needs to make sure we are linked to their FAFSA in order to receive their financial aid award offer. This offer will indicate academic, government, and need-based aid.
• Committing: When a student decides to attend TU, there is an enrollment deposit that confirms your spot on campus. This enrollment deposit will go directly into your student account and be applied towards your tuition. From there, we will reach out about registration and forms.
