Application Deadlines
Your application is due June 15.
Eligibility
The Texas A&M Engineering Academies are for first-time students, full-time students and continuing students who have achieved a high school diploma or equivalent and are pre-calculus or calculus ready as determined by the partner institution. Students previously enrolled at Texas A&M University are not eligible to apply.
Step 1: Secure Admission to your partner college
- Students must secure admission to their partner college and receive a student ID number.
- First-time, full-time students should submit an application to partner community college via ApplyTexas.org.
- Continuing students already enrolled at a partner institution who wish to participate in the Engineering Academies can continue to the next step.
Step 2: Get Prequalified
- Students must submit a prequalification form to their partner college. The partner college will complete a review of the student’s academic history to verify eligibility in the Academies. Please visit the Engineering Academies page to see specific requirements for each institution.
- Please monitor your email, as your partner college will likely contact you for additional details and documentation.
Step 3: Submit an Engineering Academy Admissions Application
- Prequalified students will be sent a unique link to apply to the Texas A&M Engineering Academy of their choice. Students should submit their application and all supporting documents by June 15. Once a student submits their application, they should monitor their status by logging into applicant.tamu.edu.
Application Guide
Prequalified students must submit a Texas A&M Engineering Academies admissions application. Students who have previously applied to Texas A&M via a freshman or transfer application must submit an additional application for the Engineering Academies.
Applicants are reviewed holistically by the Texas A&M University Office of Admissions based on the required documents listed below.
Required Documents
After you submit your application, you will receive an email with your Universal Identification Number (UIN) and instructions to access the Applicant Information System (AIS) at the Howdy Student Portal via the Applicant tab. Check regularly to make sure all your documents have been received. Students applying to the Academies must submit required documents to the Texas A&M Office of Admissions by June 15.

Requirements for students without college credit or those whose only college credit was earned prior to high school graduation — i.e., dual credit, AP/IB or early college high school:
- Self-Reported Academic Record: (SRAR) All first-time-in-college students must complete the SRAR with a few exceptions: applicants not completing high school in the United States and GED graduates (specific requirements and additional details available at SRAR FAQs if you fall into one of these categories). The Self-Reported Academic Record lists the courses and associated grades that have been completed or will be completed for high school and/or college credit. It replaces the high school transcript used by the Office of Admissions during the initial admission process. Since accuracy is critical, it is best to create the SRAR by referencing an official high school transcript. Applicants will enter their courses, grades, class rank (if provided on transcript), weighted GPA and graduation plan in the SRAR. Texas residents reporting a top 10 percent ranking on the SRAR must also provide verification of ranking by submitting an official high school transcript.
- The following applicants are required to submit a high school transcript:
- Texas residents reporting a top 10 percent ranking on the SRAR must also provide verification of ranking by submitting an official high school transcript.
- Applicants not completing high school in the U.S. will not submit an SRAR but must submit official or certified copies of all secondary school records and/or examination results. All academic records not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. See Texas A&M Admissions for more details.
- GED graduates will not submit an SRAR but must submit their official GED transcript along with official partial high school transcript(s). The original certificate and transcript(s) may be sent by mail or hand-delivered to Admissions Customer Service.
- Applicants who have already graduated high school must submit an SRAR and a final high school transcript.
- Application Fee: Great news! There is no fee incurred by the students applying to the Texas A&M Engineering Academies.
- Texas A&M Residency Questionnaire: if applicable.
- Bacterial Meningitis Proof of Vaccination: if admitted.
- Final High School Transcript: if admitted.

Requirements for students who have earned college credits after earning a high school diploma:
- Official College Transcripts: Every institution the student attends — including institutions where dual credit was earned — must submit transcripts. Texas A&M prefers electronic submission by SPEEDE. Other acceptable methods for sending transcripts include electronic submissions by eSCRIP-SAFE, AVOW and the National Student Clearinghouse or by mail as permitted for Texas A&M transfer applicants. The mailing addresses can be found on the Texas A&M Admissions website.
