Do I apply as a First-Year or a Transfer Student?

Question

Accepted Answer

TCU defines a Transfer student as someone who has graduated from high school and has enrolled in a long (fall or spring) semester. Taking summer classes during the summer between high school graduation and the start of the first-year fall semester in college does not change a student’s status from First-Year to Transfer. Also, classes taken for college credit in high school do not change a student’s first-year status. Students who take classes in high school for college credit are considered First-Year students with college hours. You can receive consideration of credit for these hours by sending an official college transcript to the TCU Office of Admission.
