Online Application via Apply Texas

Thank you for submitting your application for admission to Southwestern University.  We look forward to learning more about you through your application. 

As the review process at Southwestern is comprehensive, the Admission Committee needs to receive an official copy of your high school transcript, SAT and/or ACT score results (which may come with your transcript), and a letter of recommendation from your high school counselor.  To download the counselor recommendation form, click here.

Candidates for admission may also submit letters of recommendation from their teachers and parents.  While recommended, these letters are optional.  Click on the appropriate link to download the recommendation form:

All applicants must submit a $40 application fee to complete their application file.  Fees may be paid by check and sent to Office of Admission, Southwestern University, 1001 East University Avenue, Georgetown, TX 78626.  Please be sure your name is clearly noted on the check.

If you have questions about your application file or the University, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 512.863.1200.

Starting around 1996, public colleges and universities in Texas were required by Senate Bill 150 to use a single common application for admission, and to have an online version of that application.  This web application later became known as "Apply Texas."  After a time, private colleges and universities were allowed to participate, and Southwestern University elected to participate starting with first year student applications for the Fall 2009 semester.
