29.1 - 45 1.7
45.1 - 59.9 1.9
60+ 2.0

Applicants who have enrolled for one term only at any other college or university without obtaining the required grade point average for transfer and who meet regular freshman admission standards may be admitted on appropriate academic probation.

*Note: Remedial and developmental courses are not used in determining eligibility for transfer admission.

Transfer Admission Process


An application for admission as a transfer student will be considered complete and ready for review when the Office of Admissions has received the following:

  • the completed application for admission
  • official transcripts from each college or university attended
  • the $25 application processing fee

A complete application will be evaluated for admission. Students offered admission will be provided with a comprehensive transfer articulation review.

*Note: Due to the high volume of requests, we are unable to offer a comprehensive transfer articulation review prior to an admission decision. You may use the Transfer Course Equivalency Table to get an unofficial review of how your courses may transfer.

Forward Transcripts


Request that official copies (sealed, unopened version) of your high school and college transcripts be sent directly to:

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions
ETSU
PO Box 70731
Johnson City, TN 37614

Forward Dual-Enrollment College Transcript / Advanced Placement or other collegiate results
