Hey there!
Welcome to the Texas Woman's University (TWU) HOUSTON Fall 2024 Admitted Nursing Student cohort.  Hope we can help each other out as we embark on this journey!

I've been having some problems with Castlebranch, so I went to their help site.  Here's the link if anyone needs it.

FYI - I contacted a TWU Houston advisor and they confirmed that the Drug Screening should be completed before Orientation.

Don't give up hope!  So far you have until at least April 11 and then maybe until the end of May.  You might want to find out what you can be doing or what requirements you can be completing while you are on the waiting list.

I have not purchased the drug test yet, but I was wondering if there is a specific place where we have to get drug tested or if we can get the drug test at any place. Please let me know!

You have to purchase the drug screening through Castlebrach.  In the acceptance packet, look under clinical compliance and follow the instructions to order it.  You have to purchase it before April 15.  And once you order it, you have 7 days to visit the lab to complete the test. 

When you order it, you will  have access to a document that will  give you the locations nearest to your address where you can go and do the lab work.  This document is also your lab work order that you must bring to the testing site.  Hope this helps.

Congratulations!  TWU alumni here!  I attended my first year (2001-2002) @ the Houston campus and my second year (2002-2003) at the Dallas campus (my husband's job caused us to move and I was granted permission to transfer).  It was a great experience!

@egarza  don't give up hope-I wasn't accepted first round either but as you can see-I did get in and graduated!

In case anyone is wondering...

Here are some links to the college Tuition and fees for the college, regardless of the program or location.  For additional costs refer to your acceptance letter and see the attachment document.

This was 12 years ago so they may not do this anymore, but during orientation they brought in a service and drug tested all the students who hadn't done theirs yet.

Anybody here visit the Houston campus during an open-house? How did you like the building and offered facilities? I wasn't able to attend any of their tours and it seems like they won't be holding another for a while so
