  4. Can I find out how many credits will transfer before I apply to UST?
    Absolutely! We encourage you to do so by scheduling a personal appointment with your admissions counselor to discuss your individual transfer credit and degree plan. For general accepted courses, view our transfer course equivalency guide.

  5. When do I apply for Financial Aid?
    The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available beginning January 2 each year for the upcoming school year (including fall, spring, and summer). We encourage students to complete their FAFSA by the priority deadline of April 15. Financial aid is awarded once a student is admitted, so we recommend completing your application as soon as possible.

  8. I have been admitted. What are my next steps?
    Once you have received you packet from the admissions office containing your official admission letter and other important information, the next step will be to submit your $200 enrollment deposit when you have made your decision about attending UST. Your admissions counselor will contact you about meeting with an academic advisor to register for classes. Academic advising and registration will begin in May for the fall semester and in November for the spring semester.
