When Do I Do This?
When you are absolutely certain you are going to attend TCU, transfer students who are U.S. citizens must pay the nonrefundable commitment deposit of $500. International transfer students must pay the commitment deposit by November 15 ( Spring enrollment) or May 1 ( Fall enrollment ). The deposit must be paid before you can enroll in classes or register for orientation and frog camp.

Your $500 deposit is not refundable—it confirms that you plan to enroll at TCU. This is a credit toward your tuition. To pay your deposit, go to my.tcu.edu. If you are a qualifying veteran under the Post 9-11 GI Bill, you may submit this form to request to waive your $500 deposit into your veteran benefits.

After your commitment deposit has been posted, you will be able to register for Frog Camp on my.tcu.edu. Frog Camp registration is open as space allows.

Frog Camp is a highly-recommended, once-in-a-lifetime program that introduces you to the TCU community. This extended-orientation program is offered off-campus in different environments around the State of Texas and sometimes beyond. You’ll be placed in a transfer small group while also having the opportunity to connect with other types of students. You’ll walk away from Frog Camp with new friends, faculty/staff resources, and upper-division mentors. You’ll also get an inside look at what it means to be a Horned Frog, learn TCU traditions, and learn how you are going to make a difference at TCU.
