Admissions

TLU is a Liberal Arts institution which makes it different from all other schools. You don't just gain insight on what your are planning to carry a profession in, but you learn a little about everything! My tip to prospective students out there is to take advantage of the opporunity that you have been given. There are many teens out there that wish they could go to college but for some reason or another they can't. Do your work, thats what your there for. To learn and grow as a person. You can party when your outta college. Another thing show up to class. Its not that hard to get outta bed and walk for like not even a full minute and already be at your classroom! Its a small campus! How much luckier could you be! It beats walking a mile! Haha. What else....ohh respect the workers there. They are by for the nicest people and I've seen them get treated like there nothing. One, no one deserves to be treated that way and two, especially not them! There the ones who make your breakfast, lunch, dinner, fix the things that break in our dorm rooms, and keep the campus in great condition. Other than that, enjoy yourself! Join an organization, and give yourself the chance to meet some of the people who just might end up being your life long friends!

If you can, definitely try to visit the campus. It is one thing to see pictures and read about what's here, but to get a good feel for TLU, visiting the campus is the only way to do it. Also, don't be afraid to talk to people, especially your Admissions Representative. When I was applying, I kept in close contact with him and he actually knew who I was by face and name. They want you to bug them with questions! The staff truly wants to help you with what you need, so don't be afraid to ask. Stay in close contact, and you will be very memorable, which is always a good thing.

I would suggest to any future college student to do your homework on time! Overall, TLU is a great school so there is not much to warn you about. One thing I can stress is, if you have a problem with anything talk to your professor or advisor. Every freshman is assigned an advisor that will help you out with anything throughout your time at TLU. Take advantage of that.

Call the TLU Admissions office, take a tour of the campus...don't delay because you will fall in love with TLU!

Come visit the campus to see for yourself.

the work load at texas lutheran university is a true challenge to be taken seriously. it is highly recommended for you to be or become organized and on time for each and every class. this university is much more challenging than traditional public schools like utsa and texas state and the acceptance rate is also much lower some where around 60 percent compared to utsa's 90 percent acceptance rated, but if you set aside at least 4 hours a day for your studies and become self discipline you won't have any issues. also join clubs and get involved stats shows that student that are more involved in community events have higher gpa scores.

Come in knowing you're going to be very busy, earning an A in a class really is a challenge regardless of what the class is. Make sure to study early on, procrastinating will catch up to you very early on. Study with a friend or classmate it makes a huge difference. Don't be afraid to ask some of the upper classmen questions, we love to help out.

Get to know your professors! They do not bite. And definitely get involved; TLU is a great campus which strives on student and community involvement.

Learn your way around quickly, and hang around the Student Center if you want to stay in-the-loop with current events and promotions. People have bake sales there too! Also, never be afraid to ask for help. The whole staff is friendly and either know the answers to your questions or know someone who does.

Apply early for scholarships. If accepted to Texas A&M Or UNiversity of Texas -Austin, you get a lower tuition rate.
