Transfer Students

How To Apply

  1. Submit the Application

     We recommend using the Common App to apply, but you can also apply using the Apply Texas application.

  2. Pay the Application Fee or Submit a Fee Waiver

     If you didn’t pay your application fee when you submitted your admission application, you can pay it online. A decision on your application cannot be rendered until all required documents and fees are received. Application fees are non-refundable.

    UTA offers fee waivers for qualifying transfer applicants; however, waivers are not available for Accelerated Online programs.

     Pay Your Application Fee
    Register an account to pay your app fee. Use the same email address you used on your application so we can accurately match your payment to your file.

  3. Submit Official Transcripts

     You need to submit your official transcripts once the institution(s) have made them available. Official transcripts must be submitted from all institutions you have attended. The fastest method is electronically--sent directly from your school. If you are asked for an email address, use utaadmissions@uta.edu. However, we will accept transcripts by mail or in person.

  4. Track Your Admission Status

     Track the status of your admissions through your MyMav student portal. Under the admissions section, you will see the status of your application. If you have a status of "Incomplete," please refer to your to-do list for any items that we may still need from you. Please note that it can take up to 5-7 business days for submitted application materials to be processed and removed from your to-do list. If you have a status of "Complete," please allow up to 3-5 weeks for us to process an admission decision. Learn More About Accessing MyMav
