We review applications throughout the year until the beginning of each semester, so there is no specific application deadline. Just complete your application and we'll have a decision for you within two weeks.
Veterans Apply as Transfer Students
Due to the college credits that veterans have received from their military service, veterans must apply as a transfer student, so you might see that language during the application process.
High school and college transcripts are required from ALL schools and institutions you've attempted credits from – including PSEO or dual-enrollment credits and/or your Joint Services Transcript from the military.
A high school transcript is only required from transfer students if you have completed fewer than 24 transferable college-level semester (36 quarter) credits.
Transcripts must be mailed, faxed, emailed or sent electronically to us directly from the school.
Please note that transfer students who enroll at the university are required to provide all final official transcripts, including high school transcript if required, prior to registering for courses in their second semester of enrollment.
The Code of Conduct form asks about your disciplinary and behavioral history. Please complete the top half of the form, then have your current or most recent institution complete the bottom half before submitting it to us.
Military Veteran Students with no college or university background can submit a copy of their DD 214. The DD 214 must list the reason for separation and the type of discharge from the military.
To fill out the form electronically, please use the "Fill & Sign" option in Adobe Acrobat.
Though you aren't technically required to answer our essay questions, we highly recommend that you do. We want to learn a little about you as a person and this is our way of doing it.
We accept an essay based on our prompts or a paper you have written for class. Here are the current essay prompts:
We recommend that your essay be one to two pages long.
We also ask a second essay question about your experience with diversity and inclusion. This essay is also optional, but will give you a chance to reflect and speak from your heart.
You're welcome to submit any letters of recommendation, official ACT (school code: 2102) or SAT (school code: 6110) test scores or any other materials you think will enhance your application.

Veterans and/or their dependents may be entitled to benefits from a variety of programs to assist with educational expenses, including the Post-9/11 Montgomery GI Bill, Yellow Ribbon Program, and more.
Once you've been admitted to St. Thomas, you will need to connect with the US Government and the St. Thomas Registrar. Learn about the steps you'll need to take to apply your VA education benefits.
