Transfer
Want to become acquainted to ETSU and make your transition smooth? We have just what you need.... The ETSU Transfer Guide! We hope it will make your journey easier from start to finish.
Applying for admission to ETSU
Several times a year various faculty and staff make trips to community colleges in our immediate area to assist potential ETSU students in the transfer process. We find it particularly helpful to contact transfer students before they begin the admissions process. Therefore, you can find out more on how to transfer to ETSU and apply online by contacting the Undergraduate Admissions Office or the Graduate Studies Office.
Looking for a place to live?
Through various conversations with transfer students, we've discovered a number of non-academic items that worry them. One of those can be your housing arrangement. ETSU offers on-campus housing, which can allow you to have a roommate, family living quarters, or even a solo living space. The department can provide you with information about on-campus housing. For those wishing to live off-campus, the ACTS office maintains an up-to-date information listing on local rental properties.
Transferring Your Courses
The Office of Transfer Articulation is another office that is of service to transfer students. If you have followed an articulation agreement, which means that you can taken your first two years at a community college, earning an Associate's degree and are now transferring to ETSU, then those hours will transfer seamlessly. You will enter your major as a junior without loss of credits and with no courses to duplicate at ETSU. Please feel free to contact us at articulate@etsu.edu or by phone at (423) 439-4723. If you did not follow an articulation agreement, click on the button "transfer equivalencies" to find a list of courses that will transfer from your institution to ETSU.
Have Children, Need Childcare?
There are options for transfer students who have a family made up of small children. ETSU has Child Care Services that accommodate those mothers or fathers with daycare issues at a reasonable price. The location of the center for daycare (or evening in some cases) is on campus with highly qualified staff. There are additional childcare facilities in the area. ACTS maintains a resources web page to direct you to some of these services.
Get Involved
If you are looking for physical activity, whether in the form of aerobic exercise or sport activities (i.e., softball, volleyball), we have places especially designed to point you in the right direction. Our newly built Basler Center for Physical Activity (CPA) will offer you everything from free weights to instructed courses in aqua-aerobics. In addition, we have the SORC (pronouced "source") with student organizations and leadership opportunities offering students a wide variety of activities to allow you to get acquainted with fellow students and potential friends. If you happen to be joining us from another culture, we have a wonderful program called Multi-Cultural Affairs that will help you transition yourself into ETSU.
Student Health
No matter where you are in life, sickness will be able to find you. Thankfully, ETSU has the Student Health Clinic specifically for those attending here. They also offer immunizations against potential diseases, opportunities to learn about health-related issues. For those of you who may need insurance, the student health clinic can also provide you with information about Student Health Insurance Coverage.
At Disability Services, you will find a department full of kind, generous people waiting to help you adjust to the ETSU campus.
Feeling a little overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to? ETSU Counseling Center is the place to go. They promote mental health, personal growth and positive relationships by providing an array of mental health, career, educational, and consultative services.
Academic/Career Help
Finally, we have the Advisement Resources Career Center (ARC) full of different offices with a wealth of knowledge. The variety of people located here can help you get on the path to a career through different personality tests or they can help you find an internship in your field of study. There are those who can lead you from a confusing undeclared to a determined major of study. If you are struggling in your classes and may need extra help, the Center for Academic Achievement (CFAA) is the place for you. The CFAA offers tutoring in many ETSU classes.
