No, all official transcripts must be evaluated by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions during the application process to Texas State University. Students must apply to Texas State because the Office of Admissions processes all incoming transcripts and formally evaluates them. You will receive an official evaluation after admission to Texas State.

After you are admitted to Texas State University, you may attend a new student orientation and be advised at that time.

The application procedures are exactly the same for "second degree" students.  It is critical that you have your transcripts evaluated immediately by Undergraduate Admissions as some prerequisite coursework may be waived.

No, new student orientation for pre-nursing students planning to complete their prerequisite courses at Texas State in San Marcos is only held in San Marcos. Since there are no lower division courses offered at the Round Rock campus, pre-nursing students are unable to attend orientation or complete prerequisite courses at the Round Rock campus. Students must sign up for the orientation online at the Texas State Admissions website.

Students accepted into the nursing program will attend orientation and register for their nursing courses in August, the week before the fall semester begins. Detailed orientation information is sent to the students by email.
