DeVry University-Texas

What is the accreditation of DeVry University-Texas?

DeVry University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Institutional accreditation evaluates the university as a whole; it is different from specialized accreditation of an individual business, engineering technology or other program.

Institutional accreditation is relevant to eligibility for federal student aid, but an eligible student must still meet aid rules. It also does not require another college to accept DeVry credits: the receiving institution makes that decision. Students pursuing a licensed occupation or a program for which specialized accreditation matters should check the exact degree and location against the relevant accreditor's directory and the licensing rules in the state where they intend to work.

What are the admission requirements at DeVry University-Texas?

Degree-seeking applicants generally need an application and evidence of high school completion, such as a diploma or an accepted equivalency credential. The admissions information reported for DeVry University-Texas also identifies a secondary school record and GPA as required application information.

Admission is not reported as open admission. SAT and ACT scores may be considered but are not required; class rank, recommendations and completion of a college-preparatory program are not listed as requirements. Applicants whose prior education was outside the United States, or who need to document English proficiency, should obtain the requirements for their applicant category. DeVry offers multiple starts during the year, but the deadline and any additional requirements for a particular program should be confirmed before applying.

What are the application fees and waivers at DeVry University-Texas?

The reported application fee for DeVry University-Texas is $30. That is an application charge, not a tuition payment or an enrollment deposit.

Applicants should verify the fee shown in the current application before submitting it, particularly if applying to a graduate program or through a special admissions route. A general fee-waiver policy and eligibility criteria are not established here; anyone seeking a waiver should ask admissions whether one applies to their circumstances and how to request it before paying.

What types of ROTC programs are available at DeVry University-Texas?

No Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC unit is established as operating at DeVry University-Texas, and a cross-enrollment arrangement for Irving students has not been established. Applicants should not assume that proximity to other Dallas-Fort Worth colleges gives them access to those colleges' ROTC programs.

A student interested in commissioning should ask the relevant ROTC host program whether it accepts DeVry students and whether the student's degree and schedule qualify. ROTC scholarships, participation requirements and any resulting service obligation depend on the branch and the student's agreement; military education benefits are a separate matter.

What are the requirements for transfer students at DeVry University-Texas?

DeVry generally considers credits earned at other accredited institutions for transfer, but admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular courses are separate decisions. Transfer applicants should expect to provide official transcripts from prior colleges for an evaluation against their intended program.

Reported transfer-credit options include eligible CLEP subject exams, DSST exams and learning evaluated under American Council on Education recommendations. Prior learning and Advanced Placement credit may also be considered under applicable policies. None is automatically equivalent to a required DeVry course: subject matter, grades, credit limits and program rules can affect the result. Before enrolling, request a written evaluation showing which credits satisfy degree requirements and how many DeVry credits remain. Transfer students are reported as able to enter in fall, winter, spring or summer, subject to actual course starts.

What types of study abroad programs are available at DeVry University-Texas?

A semester-long, short-term or exchange study-abroad program specifically available to DeVry University-Texas students has not been established. Applicants should not treat international coursework as a standard feature of an Irving-based degree.

A student considering an outside program would need advance written approval to determine whether its courses would transfer into the DeVry degree. Financial-aid treatment is a separate question and should be checked before making a financial commitment. International enrollment or online access from another country is not the same as an institution-operated study-abroad program.
