Overview

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is excited to unveil the newly redesigned ApplyTexas system. The new system launches this May!

The new ApplyTexas will mean a modern and intuitive experience for applicants, counselors, and institutions. This redesign will move administration of the ApplyTexas system from The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) to the THECB. We appreciate the partnership we had with UT-Austin over the past 20 years.

Key Changes

We built the new ApplyTexas system with institutional needs and processes at the forefront. The relaunch will mean several changes you and your team will need to prepare for. If you would like to receive critical information by email, or if you have colleagues who need to receive this information by email, please fill out this form.  

  1. Application Cutover: The new ApplyTexas will launch in early May, during the current application cycle. Users will receive alerts about the change, and your team should be sure to review all information below to prepare for the cutover and ensure a seamless transition. 
  2. Payment System: When the new ApplyTexas launches in May 2024, payment will not be accepted within ApplyTexas, and students will be prompted to pay institutions directly.   
  3. Field Changes: Due to improvements to the application, there will be some small changes to fields in data submission. Your institutional IT lead will need to make necessary adjustments to ensure you are able to receive all application fields successfully.  
  4. Operating Costs: The THECB will be taking over the operating costs shared by all public institutions required to use ApplyTexas. This means your institution may no longer be required to pay a portion of the annual cost of the ApplyTexas system.  
  5. Transcript Requests: ApplyTexas will allow applicants from Texas high schools to request and send transcripts to your institution through the Texas Records Exchange (TREx), a system that can easily integrate and transmit transcripts into your institution’s system.  

Detailed information about these changes is included in the memos, webinars, and other resources included below. Sign up to receive emails about these and future changes.
