Transfer Students

Students who have studied at another college or university may apply for transfer admission to the University of Tennessee Southern.

A transfer student must:

• be in good standing with the last college or university attended;
• have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0; and
• submit an official transcript of all previous college work from each institution attended (a high school transcript may also be required).

A student who has college credits earned while still in high school (dual enrollment) and has not attended college after high school graduation is considered as a new freshman regardless of the number of hours earned through dual enrollment. Students who complete all the courses listed for a particular Tennessee Board of Regents Tennessee Transfer Pathway and who hold an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from a Tennessee Community College or from a senior institution within the state that meets the Transfer Pathway requirements will be admitted with junior standing and will have satisfied the General Education core requirements for the baccalaureate degree, except for courses specifically required for the student’s major. Students who have not followed an approved Transfer Pathway and who hold an A.A. or A.S. degree, or students holding an applied degree (e.g., A.A.S.) must have their transcripts evaluated on an individual basis; recognized courses will be credited toward graduation.

Students with A.A. or A.S. degrees from OTHER STATES that are designed to transfer to a senior institution must have their transcripts evaluated. Certain academic programs may have special core requirements that the transfer student may be required to complete. The University of Tennessee Southern does NOT transfer grades of “D” or lower except when a student has graduated with an Associate (A.A. or A.S) or Bachelor’s degree. Students may be asked to provide syllabi, course descriptions, and work samples as required.
