English Proficiency Waiver

In lieu of official English proficiency test scores, you may submit a waiver form signed by your home institution verifying your English language abilities.

• visiting student form requiring: 
  • approval to take the course from your primary institution, or the institution granting your degree
  • approval from the graduate advisor or department chair in the program/department offering the course at Texas State

Return the Visiting Student Form signed by all appropriate parties for The Graduate College Dean to approve at least two weeks prior to registration. The form must be completed prior to enrollment each term you study as a visiting student.

Some departments/programs do not permit visiting students to take their courses, while others will evaluate course availability before approving visiting students.
