Transfer Students

All students seeking advanced standing must submit official transcripts of all college credit earned. A student will be considered a transfer student if any college work has been taken at another institution.

All transfer applicants must:

(1) Submit two official transcripts from each college/university attended and copies of official high school transcript(s).
(2) Submit an official COMPASS report, if applicable.
(3) Submit official ACT or SAT scores.
(4) Have a GPA (based on all courses attempted at Tennessee Board of Regents colleges/universities) equal to TSU’s retention standards.
(5) Have a minimum 2.00 GPA, for out-of-state college/university.
(6) Take the COMPASS subtest in Mathematics and/or English if the ACT (Enhanced) subscore(s) in the subject(s) is not acceptable or if college credit has not been earned in English and/or Mathematics. Transfer students with 60 or more hours of transfer credit are exempt from University Orientation if they have not attempted Math and/or English.
(7) Students who have taken remedial and/or developmental courses at a non-TBR institution must undergo COMPASS assessment. However, if they transfer remedial and/or developmental course work which is equivalent to that offered at the University, the course(s) for which the transfer course is equivalent will be waived. Remedial and developmental courses transferred from other TBR institutions are automatically accepted
