Find Your Admissions Counselor
Note to New Freshmen: Most students are initially offered conditional admission. This means you are admitted on the condition that, prior to enrollment, you submit a final transcript showing proof of graduation and final GPA to satisfy full admission requirements.
Activate ETSU Accounts
Admitted students may activate and access their ETSU student account, GoldLink, and their ETSU e-mail by setting their password at www.etsu.edu/activate/. Log into these accounts by clicking on the links at the top of the ETSU home page. www.etsu.edu/
Apply For Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded by the Scholarship Office, Honors College, and academic departments. Go to their webpages to review details and deadlines to apply correctly and in time! Note that an ACT/SAT score is not required for admission to ETSU, but is required for consideration for scholarships.
Apply for Housing
Students living on campus are the heart of the ETSU community. A great college foundation is realized through the support, environment, and resources that are available on campus. When you live on campus, you meet friends, get involved, and learn what ETSU has to offer, all of which is available just outside your door. Applications open in October for the following year and assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, including a link to the application and deposit, click here.
