Non-Degree Seeking Admissions

Expand your Knowledge

If you’re looking to learn off the beaten path of an undergraduate degree, apply to Texas A&M University as a non-degree seeking applicant. Students attempting to earn credit for a degree at another university should also apply under this applicant type.

You are a non-degree seeking application if you wish to take specific coursework and are not pursuing a degree at Texas A&M University.

Undergraduate Applicants

What do I need to apply?

1. A completed Transfer ApplyTexas application

2. A $75 non-refundable processing fee is required to complete your application.
The application fee can be paid through ApplyTexas or paid with a credit card by phone, 979-458-5155.
For information on Application Fee Waivers, see our Document Submission Page.

3. An official copy of the latest and last university (or high school if the applicant has not attended college) attended. An official college transcript must be sent in a sealed envelope from the university. An official high school transcript must have an official school seal or signature of a school official.

4. Essay explaining why enrollment at Texas A&M is desired.

5. IF ADMITTED - Bacterial Meningitis Immunization. TEC 51.9192 requires all students under age 22 entering an institution of higher education to provide current proof of vaccination against bacterial meningitis (an immunization given within 5 years of the date of intended enrollment) or meet certain requirements for declining such a vaccination. The original TDSHS form required for students declining the vaccination must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. Students may not register for classes until this requirement is satisfied.

Priority is given to qualified applicants seeking their initial bachelor's degree; therefore, non-degree admission may be limited or not available.

Detailed information on submitting all documents required for Admissions, can be found on the Document Submission Page.

Aggie Code of Honor

Acts of Dishonesty

"An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do."

The Aggie Code of Honor is a way of life and a tool our admissions team uses to judge prospective students. Those who have lived the Aggie Code of Honor long before they knew it was the Aggie Code of Honor will fit in perfectly at Texas A&M. Applicants found to have misrepresented themselves or submitted false information on the application will receive appropriate disciplinary action.

In accordance with Texas A&M student rule 24.4.1, acts of dishonesty include but are not limited to:

Withholding material information from the University, misrepresenting the truth during a University investigation or student conduct conference, and/or making false statements to any University official.
Furnishing false information to and/or withholding information from any University official, faculty member, or office.
Forgery, alteration, or misuse of any University document, record, or instrument of identification.

The submission of false information at the time of admission or readmission is ground for rejection of the application, withdrawal of any offer of acceptance, cancellation of enrollment, dismissal or other appropriate disciplinary action.
