Understanding your Admit (Program for System Admission)

Posted on 06/13/2022 02:34 PM
One way to be admitted to Texas A&M University is through the Program for System Admission (PSA). After just one year of hitting the books at a participating school, you can be automatically admitted to the College Station campus! That’s right, you’re just one year away from the chance to join us in Aggieland! Participating Texas A&M System Schools include:
  • Prairie View A&M University
  • Tarleton State University
  • Texas A&M International University
  • Texas A&M University-Commerce
  • Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
  • Texas A&M University-Kingsville
  • Texas A&M University-Texarkana
  • West Texas A&M University
To respond to your PSA offer, log in to the Applicant Information System (AIS). Your information will be shared with the system school(s) you select on AIS. You are not required to submit another application, although some system schools may request additional items if you decide to attend (i.e., final high school transcript, AP/IB scores, etc.)

PSA Requirements

Once you’ve selected your system school, the PSA requires you to complete at least 24 transferable hours there, while also completing specific course requirements from one of the approved program-specific degree plans.

You must also maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA at the system school and maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on all transferable coursework (including dual credit taken during high school). Engineering applicants must maintain a 3.25 system school GPA and a 3.0 overall to guarantee admission.

Be sure to check Texas Success Initiative (TSI) compliance and Math readiness at your selected school and contact them to determine if developmental and/or pre-requisite Math and/or English courses should be taken prior to the fall semester to stay on track with the chosen degree plan.

Transfer Process

Once you’ve completed all the program requirements, submit the transfer application through ApplyTexas along with all required documents by the March 1 deadline. This application will also allow you to be considered for scholarships.

When submitting your application, please indicate the fee waiver option on the payment page so Texas A&M can waive the application fee. Answer ‘yes’ to the custom question indicating that you are applying for admission as part of the Program for System Admission. Please note that you are not required to submit Essay A.

You will need to submit a final transcript from your system school once the semester is complete and a final high school transcript reflecting your graduation date. Even if the coursework is included on the high school transcript, you’ll submit an official college transcript from any other schools attended including those where dual credit coursework was taken during high school.

For a list of participating colleges, majors and their course sheets, visit the PSA website.  Now that you know all the details, it’s time to start your journey to Aggieland! Pick a school, stay focused on your studies and you’ll be yelling “Whoop” and Gig ˈEm” in no time. A whole world of tradition, spirit and opportunity awaits you!
