Submitting Fee Waivers
Submit qualifying application fee waivers (SAT, ACT, NACAC, and/or proof of military service) in the App Fee Waiver Submission folder in your Orion Applicant Center inside Galaxy.
International students who attend high school in the U.S. and qualify for an SAT, ACT or NACAC fee waiver are encouraged to submit an application fee waiver form for consideration.
Hold Review to Submit Additional Documents
Applicants can request a hold on reviewing their application file pending the submission of supplemental materials by submitting the ‘Applying Without Scores’ form through the Orion Applicant Center inside Galaxy. Please note that UTD reserves the right to admit applicants based on a completed application file (i.e., ApplyTexas or CommonApp application and official high school transcript).
