TAMUG Prospective Students

1. Application for Admission
We prefer that you complete the on-line Texas Common Application which can be found on the internet at www.applytexas.org. If you require a paper copy, write to the TAMUG Student Relations Office, P.O. Box 1675, Galveston, Texas 77553-1675 or phone 1-87-SEA-AGGIE. Applications are also available from high school counselors. An application fee of $45 should also be forwarded to the Admissions and Records Office. You may check your admissions status by phoning 409-740-4414 or email TAMUGAdmissions@tamug.edu. Any questions can be direct to 877-322-4443.

2. Transcripts
Ask the High School Counselor or Registrar to forward an official transcript to the Office of Admissions and Records. This transcript must reflect grades complete through six semesters of high school work. The transcript should also reflect the rank in class and the list of courses which will be completed during the senior year. Transfer applicants and freshman applicants who have graduated from high school at the time of application should submit an official transcript that includes class rank and date of graduation. To be considered official, a transcript must bear an original signature of a school official and/or the school seal and be received directly from the institution. Fax copies are not official.

3. Testing
Arrange through the high school counselor to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT). The English Composition Achievement Test and Mathematics Achievement Test of the College Board (CB) are highly recommended but not required. Designate the scores to be sent to TAMUG (Code 6835 for SAT and Code 6592 for ACT) by the testing agency. It is recommended that the tests be scheduled in the latter part of the junior year or early part of the senior year. The achievement tests are used for counseling and placement purposes and should be taken by January of the senior year. Paper reports not coded for TAMUG or recorded on high school transcripts are not acceptable as official scores. Students are admitted on the basis of specified courses taken in high school, class rank, and SAT or ACT scores.

When to Apply
Those who meet the admission standards will be admitted until the last day for enrollment during the semester requested. All application credentials should preferably be received by March 1 for the fall term. International students must meet the deadlines specified in the International Admission section of this catalog.

Admissions Information
Texas A&M University at Galveston has a strong institutional commitment to the principle of diversity in all areas. In that spirit, admission to the University and any of its sponsored programs is open to all qualified individuals. To be admitted, an applicant must meet the admission requirements in effect for the desired term of entry. Texas A&M University at Galveston reserves the right to defer the initial registration of newly admitted applicants if it appears their enrollment for a given semester will exceed the physical capabilities of the TAMUG campus and jeopardize the quality of education offered students to whom the University is already committed.

Applications for admission to Texas A&M University at Galveston should be completed according to the printed directions and addressed to the Office of Admissions and Records, Texas A&M University at Galveston, P.O. Box 1675, Galveston, Texas 77553-1675. Acceptance by the Office of Admissions and Records does not constitute admission to the U.S. Maritime Service Corps of Cadets. (See the section on admission to the U.S. Maritime Service Corps of Cadets for information).

When admission requirements have been satisfied, the Office of Admissions and Records will send the applicant a letter of acceptance. The Office of Student Relations will send an acceptance packet and a medical history and immunization form to the student. State law requires that all students enrolled in an institution of higher education present evidence of immunization against diphtheria, tetanus and, if under 19 years of age, poliomyelitis. Students entering or reentering Texas A&M University at Galveston must furnish proof of the required immunization by completing and returning the medical history and immunization form prior to the first day of classes.
