Application Checklist
Below are the pieces necessary when applying for admission. The admissions office will waive the $25 application fee for students who apply before November 1st.
1. Application
Send your completed application with the $25 nonrefundable application fee to Trinity International University, Undergraduate Admissions Office, 2065 Half Day Road, Deerfield, IL 60015, or apply online. Click here for the Application Agreement form (Pdf).
2. 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 have your test scores sent to Trinity directly through the testing center, check with your guidance counselor to find out if test scores are included on your high school transcripts. If not, call ACT at 319.337.1320 or SAT at 609.771.7240 to have your scores sent to Trinity. At least one of these scores is required for acceptance.
3. High School Transcripts
Submit the completed transcript request form to your high school official. This is required of all applicants for acceptance.
4. 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 for transfer credit upon acceptance.
5. Pastor's Recommendation
Please have a pastor or youth pastor who knows you personally complete the form. If that is not possible, please have an elder or other church official do so. This is required for acceptance.
Once your admission file has been completed, you will be promptly notified of your admission status. Upon acceptance, you will receive a letter requesting an enrollment deposit and a room reservation form.
