APPLYING TO TOWSON
Admission Requirements
Requirements for admission to TU vary, depending on your total number of transferable credits completed and cumulative combined GPA from all institutions attended. The maximum number of credits allowed in transfer from a community college is 64. The maximum number of credits allowed in transfer from a four-year institution or from a combination of two- and four-year institutions is 90. Some courses or credits do not transfer.
Transfer applicants with fewer than 30 transferable credits must meet GPA and SAT I requirements for freshman applicants, and submit:
-
an Application for Undergraduate Admission with non-refundable $45 application fee
-
an official, final high school transcript
-
SAT I results
-
transcripts from all colleges or universities attended
Transfer applicants with 30 or more transferable credits must submit:
Previous Non-Degree Students
If you have attended Towson as a non-degree student, you must possess at least a 2.0 GPA for all course work attempted through the university, even if you are admissible based on course work that has been completed at other institutions. If you apply for transfer admission based on your non-degree status, you must meet the admission requirements listed above. If you have been denied admission as a transfer student, you may not attend as a non-degree student for the same term.
Transcript Requirements
For your application to be considered complete, you must arrange to have an official transcript from each institution you have attended sent directly from the college or university records office to the TU Office of Admissions (whether or not credit was earned). TU can receive electronic transcripts as official documents. Faxed copies are not considered official.
Course work posted on transcripts from institutions other than the original college where the work was completed is not acceptable. A separate transcript from each institution is required. You must include all institutions in order to avoid cancellation of your application or dismissal from the university.
Transcript Requirements for Students with International Credentials
Applicants who have attended institutions outside the United States MUST submit an evaluation of their transcripts from the World Education Service (WES). For more information, contact World Education Services, Bowling Green Station, P.O. Box 5087, New York, NY 10274-5087, USA; telephone: 212-966-6311.
Remaining in Good Academic Standing
Once you have received an official acceptance to TU, you must maintain the established cumulative GPA required for admission (inclusive of current course work) and remain in good academic standing. Otherwise, the university’s offer of admission will be withdrawn.
