Undergraduate Admissions FAQ's

ETSU has rolling admission. You should consider scholarship and financial aid deadlines and apply in time to participate in orientation and advisement.

Request that an official copy (sealed, unopened version) of your transcript be sent directly to

• High school transcript: Contact your school counseling office.
• Community college/university transcript: Contact the institution’s records or registrar office.
• AP/SAT/ACT: Log into your CollegeBoard or ACT student profile. Designate ETSU as the recipient.

All scores should be sent to:

*NOTE: ETSU does not accept faxed or emailed transcripts from students as official documents. Emailed transcripts must come from the reporting institution and sent directly to documents@etsu.edu. Electronic transcripts may also be received through an approved electronic transcript service.

Transcripts sent through the Parchment electronic transcript service should designate documents@etsu.edu as the recipient.

 

Call 423-439-4213 or email admissions@etsu.edu to check on your application status! We will always send communication to applicants to let them know their application was received, and whether any missing documents need to be submitted. If you have not heard anything at all, it is most likely that your $25 application fee has not been received, which prevents your application from being electronically processed. Please contact us for assistance.

Once we have received your application, an ETSU username and ID will be emailed to you so you may monitor the status of your application as it goes through the review process. To view your status please visit, https://www.etsu.edu/activate. You may also call 423-439-4213 or email admissions@etsu.edu or contact your designated admission counselor for more information here.
