___ Application for Admissions to Undergraduate School
___ All new, returning, and transfer students must complete an application for admissions.
___ Transcripts/GED/Letters of Reference
___ High School: Official transcripts showing the graduation date must be mailed directly by the high school to the Enrollment Office. Students who have not graduated may send an incomplete transcript with their application, but must send a final transcript upon graduation.
___ GED: Students receiving their GED must bring a copy of
their test scores with their application for admission.
___ Letters of Reference: Students who have not graduated from high school, completed
their GED, or attended any other college but are at least 18 years of age may apply under
Individual Approval by submitting two letters of reference. Forms are available in the
Enrollment Office.
___ Proof of Residency
A copy of one of the following must be included with the application:
| __ Permanent Texas Driver’s License/ID
card __ Texas Voter Registration card __ Texas High School or College transcript __ Property Tax Statement or Receipt |
__ Lease Agreement __ Utility Bill __ Employer’s Statement (indicating date of employment) __ Canceled Check/Bank Statemen |
Note: All residency documents must include the student’s name and address and must be dated 12 months prior to registration. This includes former students who have been out of UTB/TSC for more than a year.
For tuition status classification, see the UTB/TSC catalog
or current course schedule under Tuition & Fees.
* If you are a Naturalized Citizen or Legal Resident Alien, please bring your
certificate or card with you.
___ Endowment Earnings Transcript
Endowment earnings transcripts for participating high school students must be mailed directly by the high school to the Financial Aid office.
___ Concurrent Enrollment/Dual Enrollment
Applicants currently enrolled in high school must obtain approval from their high school principal and one parent to enroll in UTB/TSC while concurrently attending high school. Concurrent enrollment forms are available in the Enrollment Office.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board states that any applicant who seeks concurrent enrollment and who fails any area of either the TAAS or a local placement test (assessment) may not be allowed to register for college-level course(s). High school students who take and fail one or more portions of a test approved for TASP purposes are not allowed to take subsequent college-level work related to the failed portions of the test while still in high school. Students interested in using their endowment credits should refer to the above instructions on “Endowment Earnings Transcript.” Documents received by the Enrollment Office become the property of UTB/TSC and cannot be returned to students. Concurrent enrollment students receive college credit only. Dual enrollment students receive high school and college credit.

___ TASP
Students who do not have three credit hours prior to Fall 1989 must take the Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) test or be TASP exempt (see Testing Information). Students who have taken TASP must have the official scores sent to the UTB/TSC. If a section of TASP is failed, that section must be taken on ASSET for developmental course placement.
___ Advising
Students must attend group advising to obtain assessment test results or TASP score evaluations. Current, returning/continuing and transfer students, or students who have taken TASP, should set up an appointment to meet with an advisor regarding declaration of major and academic concerns.
