TAMIU Waives ACT, SAT Score Requirements For Fall '20, '21 Applicants
Prospective Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) students applying and enrolling this Fall 2020 or next Fall 2021 now have one less item to submit during their application process.
Due to COVID-19, scores for both the SAT and ACT exams are being waived for all incoming high school students. While these entrance exam scores are waived, automatic admission to TAMIU is only guaranteed to students graduating in the top 40 percent of their class. (Please note, this waiver opportunity has been extended to 2022 and 2023 entering freshmen. Details available here. )
Students who are not in the top 40 percent of their class and have never taken either the SAT or ACT are encouraged to reach out to the University’s Office of Recruitment and School Relations. Contact them directly at 956.326.2270 or via email at enroll@tamiu.edu.
“Waiving the SAT and ACT requirement because of test site closures allows prospective students the opportunity to be reviewed for admissions using additional criteria, such as TSI (Texas Success Initiative). It also allows us the opportunity, as an institution, to quickly adapt and efficiently provide our prospective students with alternative opportunities for admissions,” explained Jessica Treviño, director of Recruitment and School Relations.
Prospective students are still required to submit their admissions application through ApplyTexas.org, their high school transcript(s) and any additional necessary documentation.
For more information, contact Treviño at 956.326.2270, email enroll@tamiu.edu or visit https://www.tamiu.edu/prospect/.
Registration for Fall 2020 is now underway. An online catalog containing a list of all undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs is at http://catalog.tamiu.edu
