To check the status of your admissions application, submit missing materials, or download a copy of your admissions letter, log into your Admissions Portal. If you do not remember your password, use the Forgot Your Password link on the Returning Users login screen. 

Applicants can check the status of their application and review missing materials by viewing their Admissions Portal. Once items are received, they will be checked off the list.

myUTTyler allows you to register for classes, pay your bill, or check the status of your financial aid AFTER you have been admitted. This is also where you will access your Patriot email. Your student ID and temporary password will be emailed to you about 1 business day after submitting your application. Please note that you will not be able to reset your password and activate your Patriot email until you’ve been admitted to the university.

Send an email to gradadmissions@uttyler.edu, and your login credentials will be resent to you. Be sure to include your full name and date of birth in your email so we can locate your account.

If you try to copy/paste the password, your login will fail. Please manually enter the temporary password, or you can copy all but the last digit, then manually type that in to ensure no extra spaces are in the field. If you still have trouble, try clearing your browser’s cache or try a different browser altogether. If that still doesn’t work, please let us know!

The graduate admissions application fee is waived for returning UT Tyler students, active-duty US military and veterans, full-time UT Tyler faculty/staff, and McNair Scholars. Waiver instructions are located on the payment page of the application. You must meet one of the qualifications above to receive an application fee waiver. If you qualify, the fee will automatically be waived once your application is received and processed.

GRE/GMAT waivers are typically granted by the academic department, and that item is removed from your account at the time of admission. Go ahead and submit all other necessary documents. Likely, the GRE/GMAT scores item will disappear and you will receive an admissions decision shortly.

That depends on your chosen academic program. Some of our programs require a combination of those documents, while others do not. You can find the admission requirements for your chosen degree program on our Graduate Programs page.

Current UT Tyler students and alumni with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA may be exempt from submitting GRE/GMAT exam scores, statement of purpose, or letters of recommendation. If you qualify, these items will automatically be waived from your checklist. Not all graduate programs participate in Patriot Admit. You can find a list of participating programs on our website.

Yes, usually. Most departments will offer provisional admission to students missing their proof of degree. Please check with our staff or your academic program to see if they offer provisional admission.

No. International applicants whose TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo or PTE scores do not meet the minimum required cannot be considered for any kind of admission. Applicants who do not meet the minimum score requirement are encouraged to retest or contact IELI@uttyler.edu for information about UT Tyler’s Intensive English Language Institute.

No. Those documents will be submitted to the Office of International Programs after admission. For questions, email oip@uttyler.edu. 

Provisional admission can be granted to students that are missing a document that is required to complete the application process. Provisional admission allows you to enroll in up to 9 credit hours in your first semester, receive your I-20 (international students), apply for scholarships, etc. Provisional admission only lasts one semester – you must provide us with your missing document by the end of that semester, regardless of the number of hours you take. Students who do not maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 during the semester in which they are provisionally admitted will be denied admission to the program to which they applied. Not all programs offer provisional admission – please check with our staff or your academic program to see if they offer provisional admission.

Conditional admission refers to a “condition of admission” that is set by the academic department at the time of admission. A condition of admission to a particular program may be a certain GPA, or that specific courses are taken and a minimum grade is earned in those courses. Conditional admission can last up to 9 hours; it’s not based on number of semesters. Students on conditional admission who do not maintain a 3.0 GPA will not be allowed to continue in the program. International students on an F-1 or J-1 visa are not eligible for conditional admission.

Yes. Admission to UT Tyler is valid for up to three semesters in which students do not enroll in a course (including summers). You are welcome to wait one or two semesters, but please note that admission expires after three inactive semesters. If you decide to defer your admission, please email gradadmissions@uttyler.edu so that we can update your start term.

Students are welcome to change programs at any time during their graduate career. A Change of Program Form will need to be signed by your new academic advisor and submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions for processing.

Students within 12 hours of graduation can take graduate level classes with their advisor’s permission. Students are limited to a maximum of 6 graduate hours. The graduate courses cannot satisfy undergraduate requirements, but will count toward a graduate degree. This is an incentive to start graduate school - you will pay undergraduate tuition for these 2 graduate classes! Check the catalog for important details.

One important consideration: if you graduate with 6 graduate hours and are admitted provisionally to the graduate program, you can only take one more graduate class the following semester (you must be fully admitted to take more than 9 graduate hours.)

Yes – please visit the syllabi section online.

Automatic exemptions apply to students who are 22 years of age or older and students taking only online or other distance education classes. The full academic program must be offered online to qualify.

The documentation must show proof of an initial meningococcal vaccination or a booster dose during the five-year period before enrolling.

Contact gradadmissions@uttyler.edu to have the hold released. We will need an email from your Patriots email account (or the email account you provided on your application), including your student ID number, stating:

"I have read and understand the Bacterial Meningitis Policy. I am not currently enrolled in any on-campus classes, and I understand that if I do enroll in any on-campus classes I must submit documentation of immunization from an appropriate medical professional 10 days prior to the first class meeting. Failure to provide documentation will cause delays in the registration process."
