Transfer Students

Will this class transfer for credit? Can I start my MTSU major at my community college? How does MTSU work with my community college? Am I eligible for Scholarships?

An undergraduate applicant who previously has registered at any college or university since high school graduation must apply as a transfer student.

To meet Guaranteed Admissions requirements, transfer students must either:

  1. Earn 24 or more semester hours with a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade point average from all post-secondary institutions attended. OR
  2. Meet the freshman guaranteed admission standards if they have earned less than 24 hours (or less than 35 quarter hours) AND have a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 or higher. OR
  3. Not have been enrolled in any post-secondary institution in the 12 months preceding the term for which they are applying. They will be eligible for admission with 24 or more earned semester hours but will be admitted on academic probation if their cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00.

Applicants who do not meet the standards above, but who wish to be considered for admission to MTSU can fill out a personal statement form for consideration by the Admissions Review Board.

Application Instructions

To be considered for admissions, transfer students must:

  1. Complete the application for admission and pay the nonrefundable $25 application fee. Students who have previously applied and paid the application fee do not need to submit a second application fee. These students need to contact the Undergraduate Admissions office to update their application if updating to the next semester. Otherwise, these students should submit a new application and contact Undergraduate Admissions to process the application rather than submitting an additional application fee.
  2. High School and College officials can use our secure Dynamic Form to send transcripts or we accept any electronic transcript services. 

    Transcripts may not be submitted to MTSU via email.  To protect the personally identifiable information of prospective students, any transcript sent via email will be deleted and will not be processed. 

    Official Transcripts can also be mailed to:

    MTSU Undergraduate Admissions

    1. The high school transcript requirement will be waived if the student graduated prior to 1989 or has earned a bachelor's degree.
    2. Concealment of previous college or university attendance may be cause for rejection, cancellation of admissions, or dismissal of the student.
    3. Send Personal Statement if applicable

It will take 2-3 weeks from the date the last piece of documentation is received for a decision to be made on the student's file.
