New Tool Launched to Streamline Texas Public University Application Process

Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) today launched (press release) a new Direct Admissions initiative to provide Texas students with an innovative tool designed to streamline the college applications process.

With Direct Admissions, students share their academic information, including class rank, grade point average, and SAT/ACT score, through their My Texas Future profile. Students can receive their list as early as the end of their junior year.
 
Once students know where they can be admitted via Direct Admissions, they will then need to complete an application in ApplyTexas to verify their academic information. This also allows higher education institutions to determine if students qualify for scholarship and program offers.

If a student does not qualify for direct admission at a particular college or university, they may still apply through the traditional application process.

These 31 universities currently participate in Direct Admissions:
