Transfer Admission Status
Each application for transfer admission is individually reviewed by admission officers under the guidelines provided by the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid.
Regular Academic Acceptance—Granted to applicants who meet the criteria as outlined above or after review by the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid. The offer of admission is contingent upon continuing academic achievement and completion of the transfer coursework. The Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid may rescind offers of admission for students whose academic or behavior records are not consistent with information presented in the application process. Texas Wesleyan welcomes application without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability or veteran status.
Conditional Academic Acceptance—May be granted after review by the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid, composed of appointed faculty members. Applicants who are referred to the admission committee for consideration must demonstrate evidence of potential success and may be required to submit a personal essay, letters of recommendation, or other items. The conditions, requirements, or any limitations of acceptance are outlined in the conditional acceptance letter.
Probationary Academic Status—New undergraduate students applying as transfer students, who are or were on probationary status at the last college/university attended, may be admitted and enroll under probationary status at Texas Wesleyan University. Refer to the section on “Academic Standards” of this catalog regarding this enrollment status.
Denied—Denied transfer students may request admission counseling for a strategy to improve her/his overall cumulative grade point average prior to enrollment. Any student may be denied admission at the sole discretion of the University.
Appeal—A student who has been denied undergraduate admission may elect to appeal the decision to the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid. The student should complete and submit the appeal form (available online and in the Office of Admission) along with updated transcripts, grade reports, test scores, up to two letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and any other updated academic information. Appeals are only considered if the applicant has new information regarding extenuating circumstances or new or updated information to the academic record. Only one appeal per academic year is permitted. The Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid will review all appeal requests thoroughly. Appeal decisions are considered final.
Texas Wesleyan University reserves the right to process background checks on any applicants prior to admission to the University. Information pertaining to the admission of a student shall become the property of the University and may not be returned to the student.
