Complete Your WGU Readiness Assessment This Weekend

 
 
Dear Septian,
 

Our records show that you have not yet completed the WGU Readiness Assessment. As you know, passing the Readiness Assessment is required in order to be admitted into your program. Many prospective students find that the weekend is a great time to invest about two hours to complete the task. Below we’ve included instructions on how to take the WGU Readiness Assessment. You can do it!

Overview and Instructions

The WGU Readiness Assessment is a three-part, online test consisting of an Academic Skills Test with multiple-choice math and language questions, the WGU Essay Exam, and the Admissions Inventory questionnaire designed to determine if WGU Texas is a good fit for you. Your results are used to conduct a basic evaluation of your level of readiness for college study. For more details and tips to help you prepare, click here

To Take the WGU Readiness Assessment

  1. After claiming your Student Login, access the WGU Readiness Assessment website here.   
  2. Read the instructions on the page very carefully. Once you begin the test, you cannot back out of it at any time—backing out will result in a failing score. You only have one opportunity to satisfactorily complete the WGU Readiness Assessment in any 30 day period. (Technical difficulties are an exception.) 
  3. Click the "Take the Assessment Now" button and log into the Student Portal. You will find additional instructions for the assessment under the "Admissions" tab.

Please let us know if you have additional questions!

 
Sincerely,
 
The WGU Admissions Team

WGU Texas: How do you plan to pay for school?

 
 
Dear Septian,

Here is some in-depth information about the tuition rates at WGU Texas and how to pay for your school obligations. We think you'll be pleased to discover that, compared to other online universities, paying for college at WGU Texas is a relatively pain-free process (both in terms of your pocketbook and your sanity).
 
FLAT-RATE TUITION
An essential part of our mission is to keep tuition very affordable—affordable enough to accommodate almost any budget. That's one benefit of attending a nonprofit university.

For most programs, WGU Texas charges tuition at a flat rate of about $3,000 for a six-month term. It's simple—You pay for time, not credit hours or courses. For the most part, there are no limits to how much of your degree program you can complete in a given term. If you work hard and can finish in less time, you benefit tremendously. Namely, you could save thousands.

FINANCIAL AID IS AVAILABLE
If you're paying for college yourself, great! If you think you might need some help, WGU Texas is approved to offer federal financial aid. Aid can take many forms:
  • Pell Grants and Subsidized Federal Loans—These are based on financial need.
  • Unsubsidized Federal Loans—These are not based on financial need, and therefore are available to most students.
  • Scholarships
  • Corporate Reimbursement
Note: The first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the basic application for federal student loans. (Our school code is 033394.)
 
Your Enrollment Counselor can help you decide which options make the most sense for you. We encourage you to set up an appointment to discuss your options. Contact information is below.
