Military & Veteran | Undergraduate Admissions (2024)

Transcripts

We will only consider coursework in progress for the long term prior to your term of entry (summer not considered) in order to provide a decision on your application for admission.

If you are applying for a fall term, we must have final grades for all coursework taken the previous fall and prior;

If you are applying for a spring term, we must have final grades for all coursework taken the previous spring and prior;

• • If you are admitted with work in progress, your decision will be conditional.
  • You can attend orientation and register for classes for one term with a conditional decision
  • When we receive your final transcript, if it has grades that bring your GPA below our minimum, your decision can be revoked.
  • If we are still missing a final transcript for the prior term on the 12th class day, a registration hold for the following term will be placed on your account and all final grades must be submitted to resolve that hold.

If you are completing a domestic admissions application but have international credential, required documents must be provided in English. If official English translations are not supplied by the applicant's institution(s), the applicant must provide a translation done by an American Translators Association-certified translator. A list of ATA-certified translators is available online here.

If you are a veteran or active duty military, please submit your Joint Service Transcript so that your military experience and training can be evaluated and credit awarded. Applicants to Texas Tech University must be eligible to return to their most recent institution.

Military and Veterans Programs (MVP) wants to ensure you and your family members have a smooth transition process prior to discharge. It's never too early to begin preparations for your separation from active military service. The Department of Defense (DOD) recommends that you start your planning at least 12 months prior to separation, and 24 months prior to retirement, from active duty. The DOD's Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is a vital resource to ensure that your separation/retirement choices are truly in your, and your family's, best interests.

Scholarships are offered to transfer students who meet the GPA and credit hour requirements. To learn more about the Transfer Merit Scholarship Program, click here.
