• Pay the tuition and fees for dual credit courses

If you have previous military experience, you will complete an undergraduate application. You are considered a transfer student if you have:

• A combination of military credit and college-level credit that equals 12 or more credit hours
• A 2.0 GPA or higher

Former military with no college-level coursework should apply for freshman admissions.

If you withdrew from TWU to perform active military service you will need to reapply for admission, however, the application fee is waived. Contact TWU within 90 days upon completion of active duty and submit a copy of the military orders calling you to active duty to qualify for readmission.
