For International Students
TCU continues to welcome students from around the world. We are closely monitoring the situation and are adhering to decisions made by the US government. Based on the current situation with COVID-19, we are asking all new international students to take classes online this fall from their home countries.
Yes, you can defer your admission for up to one year. If you do not attend another university during that time, your admission, financial aid and/or scholarship award should remain the same. A new CSS PROFILE will be required if you defer for more than one semester. Should you enroll in another university during that time, you will have to reapply as a transfer student.
For Transfer Students
We can accept unofficial transcripts to make preliminary decisions. Enrollment at TCU is contingent upon receipt of a final official transcript. An unofficial transcript that has been tampered with will result in immediate admission revocation.
For Prospective Students
We have a variety of opportunities to connect virtually with campus partners, professors, and current students. You can check out our virtual visit resources or find your counselor and contact them with any questions you have about becoming a Horned Frog! Keep checking back for updates!

TCU is test-optional for entering first-year students in fall 2021. Test scores have always been just one part of our review of a student’s academic preparation. Students who elect not to submit test scores will not be penalized for admission or scholarship consideration. We will focus on other elements of a student’s academic profile as part of our holistic application review.
We will be offering virtual interviews hosted by students and counselors. Information about these opportunities will be updated on our website and emailed out – so be sure to join our mailing list.
