Undergraduate Admission 35
Conditional Academic Acceptance—May be granted after review by the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid, composed of appointed faculty members. Applicants who are referred to the admission committee for consideration must demonstrate evidence of potential success and may be required to submit a personal essay, letters of recommendation, or other items. The conditions, requirements, or any limitations of acceptance are outlined in the conditional acceptance letter.
Probationary Academic Status—New undergraduate students applying as transfer students, who are or were on probationary status at the last college/university attended, may be admitted and enroll under probationary status at Texas Wesleyan University. Refer to the section on “Academic Standards” of this catalog regarding this enrollment status.
Denied—Denied transfer students may request admission counseling for a strategy to improve their overall cumulative grade point average prior to enrollment. Any student may be denied admission at the sole discretion of the University.
Appeal— A student who has been denied undergraduate admission may elect to appeal the decision to the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid. The student should complete and submit the appeal form (available online and in the Office of Admission) along with updated transcripts, grade reports, test scores, up to two letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and any other updated academic information. Appeals are only considered if the applicant has new information regarding extenuating circumstances or new or updated information to the academic record. Only one appeal per academic year is permitted. All appeal requests will be reviewed thoroughly by the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid. Appeal decisions are considered final.
Texas Wesleyan University reserves the right to process background checks on any applicants prior to admission to the University. Information pertaining to the admission of a student shall become the property of the University and may not be returned to the student.
Transfer Credit
A student transferring from a regionally accredited college or university will be granted credit for work earned elsewhere, provided the work is comparable to that offered by Texas Wesleyan University. All transferring student documents will be evaluated in accordance with the academic standards as outlined in the Texas Wesleyan University catalog regarding academic probation, suspension, and readmission after academic suspension.
A student who transfers to Texas Wesleyan University may receive credit for courses taken more than once if, and only if, the institution of higher education granting the original credit indicates in its catalog that the course may be re-taken for credit.
“Applied” courses may only transfer upon initial admission into Texas Wesleyan to meet the requirements of approved degree programs. Once accepted into the university, a student may not utilize these courses in any other program other than the program of admission.
If a student successfully completes the state of Texas 42 semester credit hour baccalaureate core curriculum at any Texas public institution of higher education, that block of courses may be transferred to Texas Wesleyan University and will be substituted for Texas Wesleyan’s General Education
