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 meningitis vaccination (administered between Aug. 15, 2015-Aug. 15, 2020) one of two ways:

1. Email a PDF copy of the documentation to applicant@tlu.edu
2. Mail to Office of Admissions, Texas Lutheran University, 1000 W. Court St, Seguin, TX 78155

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. 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. 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.

This year, Bulldog Basics, on July 10 or July 24, will be a one-hour virtual event. During this hour, we'll share recorded messages from President Cottrell, Registrar Glenn Yockey, Director of Financial Aid Erica Miller, and Director for Transfer and Graduate Admissions Elliott Powell. You'll also hear from our Student Life & Learning staff during a live event where you can also ask questions via chat.

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 receives your FAFSA, you will be mailed a financial aid award package.

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.

We are here to help so please contact our financial aid counselors at 830-372-8075 or studentfinancialservices@tlu.edu.
