Early Admission Program

The Early Admission Program (EAP) at the University of Texas at Arlington is available to applicants who wish to begin their college education following their sophomore or junior year of high school. Applicants who satisfy admission requirements may enroll in university classes while being concurrently enrolled in high school. University credit is awarded for courses that are completed with grades of A, B, C, or D. The Office of the Registrar keeps official transcripts which indicate the department, course number, course title, grade and semester hours earned. Students may request an official copy of their University transcript after their first semester or summer session. International students currently enrolled in U.S. high schools are eligible for admission as EAP students.

Admission to the Early Admission Program requires an SAT-I total score of at least 1050, a PSAT of at least 105, an ACT composite score of at least 22, or a Pre-ACT(PLAN) score of at least 19. Applicants should submit the following:

• Admission application and $35 application fee (applications received after the published deadline will be assessed a $50 application fee). The application fee for international applicants is $50.
• EAP Agreement Form (signed by the principal, the student, and the student's parent or guardian). You can download or print the EAP Agreement Form (PDF).
• Official high school transcript showing sufficient credits to be classified as at least a junior.
• Official SAT-I score, or official PSAT score, or official ACT scores, or official PLAN scores. (Test scores posted on a high school transcript are considered official).

A student who is admitted under the Early Admission Program:

• May enroll in at most two (2) UT Arlington academic courses each fall or spring semester while being concurrently enrolled in high school, or up to two (2) courses during the summer. Additional early admission coursework information can be found in the EAP Agreement Form (PDF).
• Must prove exemption from the Texas Success Initiative (TSI)*, or submit THEA (or comparable) scores that exempt them from developmental college courses. TSI requirements must be completed PRIOR to college enrollment.
• Must follow University rules and regulations.
• Is classified as an Undeclared major.
• Will be advised by the Honors Academy located in College Hall, Suite 100, phone 817.272.7215.
• Must submit a final high school transcript showing final rank-in-class and graduation date upon graduation.
• Is not eligible for financial aid while still in high school and enrolled concurrently at UT Arlington.

An Undeclared major designation is intended to enhance advising. Students may select courses that will apply to their desired major. Following graduation from high school, students may change their designated major.

* The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements are mandated by the Texas State Legislature. Registration information for the THEA exam is available from Testing Services at 817.272.2362, Davis Hall, Room 210.

High School principals should verify that a student who participates in a college curriculum will not be disqualified from a desired University Interscholastic League (UIL) competition.
