Note: A "transfer" student is one who has completed twenty-four semester hours of degree credit or the equivalent at another college(s).

Transfer applicants must have at least a 2.0 in their last full-time semester (or last 12 hours for part-time students) in order to be accepted to TTU. All transfer students who have graduated from high school since 1989 should have completed the 14 core academic units.

In addition, transfer applicants must meet the following academic standards based on all of their previous coursework (except academic development courses) at all institutions.

An applicant under disciplinary suspension or probation will not be considered for admission until a satisfactory statement has been furnished by the former college and approval given by the Admissions Review Committee of Tennessee Technological University.
