My school cannot issue all 6 semesters of grades in time. What can I do?
This applies to TCAS 3. You have two ways to show your grades.
- During the application period, send your grades for 5 semesters, with a minimum GPA of 2.80, and your student status certificate (ปพ.7).
- By the interview date, send your ปพ.1 showing your graduation date and a GPA of not less than 2.80.
If you meet neither condition, the programme may reject your application.
I did a one year exchange programme. Which documents do I send?
Send the document issued by your Thai school. The programme considers that document. If you took the exchange year in high school, you must have a pass in all subjects.
Can I send documents in Thai?
Yes. The BIR office accepts documents in Thai or English.
How do I confirm my place if I am successful?
Confirm on myTCAS (opens in a new tab), following the TCAS round for your admission round. Inter-Portfolio 1 and 2 are joint direct admission rounds of Thammasat University's international programmes. They follow the university calendar. You confirm with TCAS in the Portfolio round for Inter-Portfolio 1 and the Quota round for Inter-Portfolio 2.
You must not have confirmed your right to a place in any other round.
Do I take my documents to the faculty after I apply on myTCAS?
No. You send them online. The English FAQ says to use a Google Form or email. The Thai FAQ says to use a Google Form. If you are unsure, ask the BIR office.
Can I send my English test score after I apply?
No. You need a valid score that meets the criteria on the day you apply. It must be no more than 2 years old. Read English tests and school qualifications.
My GED total is above 660 but one subject is below 165. Can I apply?
No. The minimum is 165 in each subject. If any subject is below 165, you do not meet the criteria.
My GED results are not ready by the deadline. Can I send the scores I have?
No. You must have finished all the subject tests and hold the official certification. This is the GED Official Transcript and the High School Equivalency Credential Certificate.
