New Students
To enroll in any course offered through LSC-University Center, a student must first meet the admission requirements and be admitted to one of the six partner universities. Since programs are non-duplicated, a student applies to the university offering the program in which the student is seeking to complete a degree. This would be the student's "home" university. Undergraduate students, those seeking a bachelor's degree, should have already earned an associate's degree or completed a substantial number of college academic credit hours before beginning the transfer admissions process. Graduate students, those seeking a master's or professional degree, must have earned an approved bachelor's degree, at minimum, before considering admission. Non-degree seeking students desiring to take courses must be admitted to the specific university offering the course through LSC-UC.

Applications for admission and other information about each partner university can be found by using the links below. If available on a partner university web site, an application can be downloaded, filled out, and then sent in with a check for the application fee. Some universities allow the student to complete the application online and pay the fee using a credit card. This is the fastest way of getting the application to the university.

Partner University Admissions & Applications
Prairie View A&M University	Sam Houston State University
Texas A&M University	Texas Southern University

Additional information about each partner university can be requested from LSC-University Center's Student Services Office. The office is located in Room 102, adjacent to the lobby, in the George P. Mitchell Building [Map].

In addition to a completed and signed application, all LSC-UC partner universities require that official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended be sent directly to the university. (Most students also find it useful to obtain additional copies of transcripts for their own records and advising purposes.) The complete, non-refundable application fee must be included with the application.

Each LSC-UC partner university may have additional admission requirements beyond the general requirements listed above. Some schools or programs within each university may also have additional requirements beyond those of the university. The catalog of the "home" university contains detailed information concerning these requirements. For the convenience of students, the partner universities also have catalogs available for purchase at the LSC-Montgomery Bookstore. Call the bookstore at 936.273.7334 for current hours of operation.

Additional Information for Undergraduate Admissions (Bachelor Degrees)
Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA)
In addition to the above requirements, undergraduate students will be required to provide test results indicating that a student has passed the THEA exam or proof of exemption. This proof of satisfying THEA requirements should be provided directly to the "home" university. This requirement also includes students transferring from out-of-state or private Texas institutions. THEA registration bulletins are also available in the Student Services Office at LSC-UC or online at www.thea.nesinc.com

Additional Information for Graduate Admissions (master's and professional degrees)
In addition to the above requirements, graduate students must also provide scores for any standardized test as required for admission to the specific program to which they are applying. The most commonly required tests for admission to LSC-UC graduate programs are GRE, GMAT, or MAT. Students are able to request information booklets from the Student Services Office at LSC-UC. Scores must be sent to the "home" university directly from the testing agency. Some colleges or programs have specific deadlines for taking these tests. Contact the program representative for minimum scores required and to better understand use of scores in admission decisions. Other testing required also includes meeting the TASP requirement for students seeking post-baccalaureate teacher certification.

Former Students
Each partner university has specific requirements for former students, such as readmission or update of students records. Students who have either formerly attended or ever previously applied for admission to the university they now select to attend should contact the Student Services Office at LSC-UC for any special procedures.

International Students
In addition to the above requirements, international students should begin the process for admission early in the semester immediately preceding the anticipated entry date. All international students are also required to earn a passing score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) before they can enroll. Contact the international student office of the "home" university for TOEFL test dates, visa procedures, and other requirements.
