Academic Advising

Trinity University’s Office of Academic Advising is committed to a holistic and developmental advising model focused on your personal and academic curiosity, growth, and success. Early in December, you will be contacted by Lapetra  Bowman Ph.D., your assigned academic adviser, who will help you get acclimated to  your new campus, review general university requirements, Pathways’ curriculum requirements, preliminary major/minor degree requirements, the course bulletin, and the class schedule.

She will also teach you how to navigate Trinity’s automated student system and our registration process and will discuss what degree requirements may be met with your tentative transfer work (N.B. how courses transfer into Trinity is determined by the Registrar). Still, together you will explore course options and build your spring course schedule in preparation for registration. 

Ultimately, she will work closely with you to facilitate your seamless journey to graduation during your first few semesters at Trinity until you declare your major (at which point you will be assigned to a major-specific faculty adviser). If you have any questions, please contact Lapetra Bowman, Ph.D., Director of Academic Advising, at lbowman@trinity.edu.

Join us for Tiger Takeoff, then Move-In and Welcome Weekend

Mark your calendars for Move-In Day on Friday, August 19, when you will move into your residence hall and start your year as a Trinity Tiger! You’ll meet your Resident Assistant (RA), who will check you into your room, provide your Welcome Weekend schedule, and serve as a general resource for any questions you may have once you arrive on campus. Move-in day marks the beginning of Welcome Weekend, which is filled with tons of activities to make sure you become familiar with campus, prepared for classes, and have the chance to participate in some fun and unique social events. You'll also meet your Orientation Team (O-Team) leader, who will guide you through orientation and be an additional resource for you.

By your first day of class, you’ll be settled in, have your schedule organized, and even have met your professors and classmates—what a great way to start the school year!

Submit your deposit

To become an officially enrolled Tiger, you must reserve your spot in the Class of 2026 by submitting your non-refundable $500 deposit and the International New Student Information Form via your portal.

  Early Decision II students must do both by March 1

IMPORTANT: VERIFICATION OF SELF-REPORTED TEST SCORES (IF APPLICABLE)

If you submitted self-reported test scores for admissions consideration, you will be required to submit official test scores for score verification if you choose to enroll at Trinity University. Please instruct the appropriate testing agency to send scores within two weeks of submitting your enrollment deposit and no later than May 15.

Any discrepancy between official and self-reported scores may result in the withdrawal of our offer of admission or a revision of a Trinity scholarship.

Prepare for your student visa

After you submit your deposit, you’ll receive an email from International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) with instructions for securing your immigration status/visa in order to attend Trinity University.

F-1 Visa/Status

If your intention is to attend Trinity University on F-1 visa/status, then Trinity University ISSS will need to issue you a Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status. In order to start this process, ISSS requires the following:

International Student Financial Certification Form
A new and completed Trinity International Student Financial Certification Form, with supporting financial documentation (bank statements, etc.). This form is separate from any financial documents you have previously submitted to the Office of Admissions.

Passport
A scan or photocopy of your current passport.

Please return the completed Financial Certification form and all materials requested to ISSS.

Other Visa/Status Classifications

International students who are not intending to attend Trinity University on F-1 visa/status and therefore will not require a Form I-20 do not need to provide any financial information to our office. Instead, you must provide copies or scans of all your current immigration information, including your passport ID page, current visa, electronic I-94, and Notice of Action.

Submit Required Forms and Surveys

Roommate Matching
All deposited students will be asked to fill out an online survey detailing lifestyle preferences such as sleep and social habits and degree of neatness. This information will be used to match you with a compatible roommate and suitemates.

The Housing Application will be due June 2022

Residence Halls
Trinity residence halls feature suite-style rooms with semi-private bathrooms, a large closet, balconies or outdoor walkways, microwave/mini-fridge combo, wireless internet, cable, and IPTV. Oh, and residents enjoy the benefit of a regular housekeeping service that lightly cleans all rooms and bathrooms every two weeks!
All Trinity undergrads reside in university housing for their first three years.

Health Record Form
Submit the health record form, available on the "Health Services" tab of your admissions portal, by July 1.

Transcripts
Your final high school transcript and college transcripts (for consideration of dual credit) must be submitted to Trinity after graduation (by July 1).

FYE & Academic Advising

The First-Year Experience (FYE) is designed to acquaint you with the fundamentals of college learning. It will prepare you to thrive at Trinity. The FYE pairs a discussion-driven seminar with a writing workshop; each half builds on the other reciprocally. Ideas posed in one part of the course are deepened and detailed in the other. A six-credit-hour course, FYE meets each day of the week: twice in seminar, twice in writing workshop, and once in a plenary session called the Common Learning Experience. All first-year students are required to complete an FYE course.

In early May, you'll receive an Academic Interest Survey with information about the different FYE topics, and you'll be asked to rank your top five preferences. Although we cannot guarantee your first choice due to variations in course popularity and the number of available seats, we make a concerted effort to place all students in a course they will enjoy.

Trinity University’s Office of Academic Advising is committed to a holistic and developmental advising model focused on your personal and academic curiosity, growth, and success. Early in the summer, you will be assigned a discipline-specific professional academic advisor who will help you get acclimated to your new campus, review general university requirements, Pathways’ curriculum requirements, preliminary major/minor degree requirements, the course bulletin, and the class schedule. Your academic advisor will also teach you how to navigate Trinity’s automated student system and our registration process. Additionally, together you will explore course options and will build your fall course schedule in preparation for registration later in the summer.

Ultimately, your academic advisor will work closely with you to facilitate your seamless journey to graduation during your first few semesters at Trinity until you declare your major (at which point you will be assigned to a major-specific faculty advisor). For questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Director of Academic Advising, Lapetra Bowman Ph.D., at lbowman@trinity.edu.
