Next Steps for Admitted Students

Submit your nonrefundable $400 enrollment deposit by May 1. The enrollment deposit can be paid on your student status page.

Submit proof of administered meningitis vaccine between August 12, 2018 to August 12, 2023 for fall 2023 applicants one of two ways:

1. Email a PDF copy of the documentation to applicant@tlu.edu
2. Upload on the form sent to you by email upon admission.

The NSRF is a form on MyTLU that asks questions about your academic interests so an academic adviser can prepare a personalized course schedule for your first semester at TLU. It will be available on MyTLU beginning in mid-April 2023 for Fall 2023 applicants. Please complete the entire form as accurately as possible. If you need to make changes or have questions about the form, email advising@tlu.edu.

The application for on-campus housing and the housing contract is available on MyTLU beginning Feb. 1 at 9:00am. If you plan to live off campus, the off-campus application form is on MyTLU and supporting documentation (letter, utility bill) may be required. All full-time students are required to live in TLU housing unless they meet one of the following criteria:

• 21 years of age or older at the beginning of the fall semester
• Married
• Have lived on a college or university campus for a minimum of four semesters
• Plan to commute from the student’s permanent residence (parent or guardian) that is within a 30-mile radius of the TLU campus

Selecting a meal plan is part of the housing sign-up process, so you’ll do both at the same time through MyTLU. There are four meal plans to choose from – A, B, C, and D. The Bulldog Bound brochure in your acceptance packet provides more information about meal plans or visit tlu.sodexomyway.com for more information about campus dining.

Bulldog Basics is an optional event for deposited students during the summer. It provides opportunities for students to tie up any loose ends before arriving on campus in the fall.

Bulldog Basics will be held in Summer 2023. Details about this event, as well as registration information, will be coming soon.

Students are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. The application opens on Oct. 1. Be sure to include TLU’s school code on your FAFSA: 003641.

After you have been accepted to TLU and Student Financial Services (SFS) receives your FAFSA, you will receive emails from Admissions and SFS with instructions on how to view your financial aid offer letter on MyTLU. If you have questions about how to find your offer letter, contact your admissions representative and they will assist you.

Along with your financial aid package, you will receive a checklist of documents that must be completed to finalize your financial aid file and to ensure disbursement of funds. Please note that each year some students are randomly selected by the U.S. Department of Education for verification of their FAFSA. If you are selected for verification, additional documentation may be required. All financial aid documents must be completed prior to move-in.

Students will receive a bill before the beginning of each semester. TLU has two payment options: Payment in Full or a Monthly Payment Plan. For the payment plan, a payment of 40% is due before the beginning of each semester followed by three monthly installments of 20% each. There is a $50 payment plan fee for each semester.
