ADMISSION AS A TRANSFER STUDENT

Note: A "transfer" student is one who has completed twelve semester hours of degree credit or the equivalent in another college or colleges.

1. Applicants for transfer from another college or university must request official transcripts which bear the seal of each institution attended to be mailed by each institution attended. No transcript from any institution previously attended may be omitted. The student shall also submit any other records or letters which the University may require in support of the application.
2. Applicants for transfer upon graduation from a Tennessee Board of Regents community college, having earned an A.A. or A.S. in a university-parallel program will usually be eligible for admission.
3. Transfer applicants must meet the following academic standards based on all of their previous coursework (except academic development courses) at all institutions. In addition to meeting these initial requirements, 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.
   The Admissions Office will also evaluate the student’s progress toward completing any required high school deficiencies and remedial/developmental courses.

Transfer students whose transcripts show satisfactory completion of the General Education program prescribed by the Board of Regents' Policy on Degree Requirements shall be exempted from taking additional courses that normally are a part of the requirements of the University, except where teacher certification regulations, major field requirements, or professional accreditation agencies require the inclusion of such courses in the program of studies.
