  3. Submit Your Official Transcripts

     Have non-U.S. institution transcripts to submit?
    UTA requires you to upload non-U.S. transcripts for Foreign Credentials Service of America (FCSA) review. A FCSA processing fee charge of $90.00 USD will be collected by FCSA at the time of non-U.S. institution transcript upload.     Submit International Transcripts From non-U.S. Institutions For FCSA evaluation

    Have U.S. institution transcripts to submit?
    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 preferred method is electronically--sent directly from your school. If you are asked for an email address, use utaadmissions@uta.edu.

For TOEFL, we require a 4 on the 6 point scale or a 79 on the 120 point scale. For IELTS, we require a minimum score of 6.5. For Duolingo, we require a minimum score of 100.

International Admissions Forms

Cost of Attendance & Visa Requirements

The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service requires that you show proof that adequate resources are available to meet your first year of educational and living expenses. Before an I-20 can be issued, a financial statement form must be completed and returned with the indicated documentation. Financial documents may be submitted online. If you are already studying in the U.S. on an F-1 (student) visa, you must establish transfer eligibility by submitting a school transfer notification before UTA initiates the transfer.
