Steps to Admission
The following items need to be submitted in the process of applying to and enrolling at Trinity:
Application: Send the completed application with the $25 nonrefundable application fee to:
Trinity International University
Undergraduate Admissions Office
2065 Half Day Road
Deerfield, Illinois 60015
You may also apply online.
Pastor's Recommendation: Please have a youth pastor or pastor who knows you personally complete the form. If this is not possible, please have an elder or other church official do so. Required for acceptance.
Official High School Transcripts: Submit the completed transcript request form on the back page of your application to your high school official. Required of ALL applicants for acceptance. Home-schooled students must submit transcripts from any high school attended, a transcript with all courses taken as a home-schooler, and information/explanation of curriculum used for home schooling.
Official College Transcripts (if applicable): Request official college transcripts from each college you have attended. Your application cannot be processed until we have received ALL official college transcripts. Your transcripts will be evaluated upon acceptance by the Records Office
ACT/SAT Test Scores: Trinity accepts either ACT or SAT test scores. Please specify Trinity on each test application ( ACT code # 1150; SAT code # 1810). If you did not request your scores to be sent to Trinity directly through the testing center, often test scores are included on your high school transcripts. Please confirm this with your guidance counselor. (If not, call ACT at 1.319.337.1320 or SAT at 1.609.771.7240 to have your scores sent to Trinity.) At least one of these scores is required for acceptance for all freshmen students and transfers with less than 12 credit hours completed of college-level work.
Financial Aid: Trinity requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for all students desiring Financial Aid. The priority date for completing the FAFSA is April 1st. Be sure to include Trinity's school code: 001772 when completing the FAFSA. We encourage you to complete the FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
Enrollment Deposit: Upon acceptance, this deposit holds your place in the classroom and in the residence hall. For those students living on campus, the enrollment deposit is $150.00. For students commuting to campus, the enrollment deposit is $100.00. Both deposits are fully refundable until May 1st of the planned enrollment year.
Housing Form: The housing form must be returned with your $150.00 enrollment deposit to secure a room for you in the residence hall.
Health Forms: The health forms must be completed before starting classes.
