Admission Standards

If you have previously attended Middle Tennessee State University, you can return to take additional classes at the same degree level, undergraduate or graduate, by submitting a re-enrollment application . The information in this document pertains to re-enrolling undergraduate students. For information about re-enrolling as a graduate student, please contact the College of Graduate Studies, (615) 898-2840.

An undergraduate re-enrollment application is necessary in any of the following situations:

  1. You have not been continuously enrolled. If you do not enroll in a spring or fall term, you must submit a re-enrollment application in order to register for a future term.
  2. You graduated from MTSU. A re-enrollment is necessary for you to take additional classes at the same level (undergraduate or graduate). If you graduated with a bachelor's degree and now wish to take graduate-level classes, file a new Graduate Admission Application with the College of Graduate Studies, (615) 898-2840.
  3. You were suspended from MTSU. If you have not completed the term of your suspension, you must first file an Appeal of Suspension form with the Records Office, (615) 898-2600.

Application Instructions

  1. Obtain an undergraduate Application for Re-Admission form from the Admissions Office. Complete the application and return it to Admissions. You may also use the online re-enrollment application form and submit the results electronically.
  2. If you have attended any other secondary institutions since last enrolled at MTSU, request that each of those institutions send an official transcript directly to the MTSU Admissions Office.
No application fee is required.

We encourage you to apply as early as possible. Re-enrolling students are eligible to participate in the priority registration periods during April for Summer and Fall class selection and in November for Spring classes. The earlier you apply, the earlier you will register, and the more class sections you will have to choose from. Registration materials, including a schedule book, are mailed to all re-enrolling students after they are admitted.

Eligibility for Re-Admission

Whether your application for re-admission will be approved depends on whether you have attended another college or university since last attending MTSU, as well as on your cumulative college GPA.

If you have not attended any other college or university since you last attended MTSU, your application will be approved if any one of the following statements is true:

  • You were not on suspension when you left MTSU.
  • You were suspended at the end of your last MTSU term, but the term of that suspension has been served.
  • You were suspended at the end of your last MTSU term, but you have successfully appealed the suspension through the Records Office.
If you have attended another college or university since last attending MTSU, your application will be approved if any one of the following statements is true:
  • Your cumulative college GPA on all college work attempted is at least a 2.00.
  • You were suspended at the end of your last MTSU term, but since then have completed a minimum of 12 hours at another college/university with at least a 2.00 GPA on those hours. If your cumulative GPA on all work remains below a 2.00, you will be re-admitted on probation.
  • Your cumulative college GPA on all college work is less than a 2.00, but you have not enrolled in any college/university for the twelve preceding months. If this is the case, you are eligible for re-admission on probation.

Denials

Re-enrolling applicants with transfer work who are denied admission because the cumulative GPA, including MTSU courses and transfer courses, is lower than a 2.00 will be sent a "Personal Statement" form which can be used to request consideration by the Admissions Review Board for admission to MTSU on a probationary basis. The decision of the Admissions Review Board in such cases is final.
