New Applicants

Please review before you apply!
You should gather all documents before you begin the application.
Currently, we only accept applications for ESL only (meaning no conditional admission for an undergraduate or graduate program). For ESL only, you will only need to fill out an application and have your payment method ready.
If you are applying as an international student, you will need to have your passport copy and your bank statement copy available after admission to request an I-20.
If you have TOEFL / IELTS / Duolingo scores, you can submit those directly to tsie@txstate.edu. They are not required during the admission process, but they will be used with the placement test to ensure that you are placed in the appropriate levels.
Orientation is required for all new students. You will take your placement test during the orientation. Please refer to the calendar for Orientation dates.
