Thomas

Thomas College welcomes applications for admission at any time throughout the year; however, we do encourage prospective students to submit all necessary forms and documentation several months prior to the intended enrollment date. Applications for admission are reviewed on a rolling basis upon receipt of all application materials. All of the following items constitute a complete application for admission and must be received before an admission decision is rendered:

An official high school transcript and official copies of transcripts of any college coursework.
A recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor.

SAT 1 or ACT scores are required for consideration for all Bachelor's degree candidates. The Thomas College code for score reporting is 3903 for the SAT 1 and 1663 for the ACT.

International applicants not residing in the U.S. and associate degree candidates do not need to submit SAT scores.

A non-refundable application fee of $40. (International students not living in the United States do not have to submit the application fee.)

International students must also submit results of the TOEFL exam to complete their Application for Admission and a Declaration of Financial Status.

Please send us a photograph of yourself. This is used for identification and public relations purposes. Your application will be considered with or without the photograph.

Thomas College invites applications from prospective degree candidates without regard to race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, handicap or age.

Early Action

Students who wish to be notified of acceptance early in their senior year may apply for early action. To be considered for this option, all application materials must be received by the Admissions Office on or before December 15th. Notification of admission through this program will be made on or prior to December 31st. Early admission at Thomas College is a non-binding offer of admission.

Interviews and Campus Visits

Personal interviews are not required but are recommended for all applicants. Interviews and tours of the campus are conducted Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We also offer multiple opportunities to visit us on selected Saturdays throughout the year.

Students who visit our campus, or attend one of our open house or visitation days, will receive an application fee waiver card to submit with their application for admission in lieu of the $50 application fee.

Financial Assistance Procedures

Thomas College offers a comprehensive program of financial assistance to students with academic promise who have demonstrated financial need. Students seeking financial assistance other than merit scholarships must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and list Thomas College (Title IV code 002052) as an authorized recipient of the student's information. Applicants for admission will automatically be considered for most merit scholarship awards. Some merit scholarships may require additional application procedures.
