PREVIEW

PREVIEW is one of the favorite traditions at ETSU. It is designed to make you feel at home and at ease before classes begin. You will make friends, meet many of your fellow classmates, and learn about the campus while having a great deal of fun along the way! PREVIEW is hard to describe....let's just say that it's better than a vacation!

All first-time freshman are required to attend the Traditional PREVIEW, which is multiple days long.

As a transfer & adult student you have two options to choose from. You can attend the Traditional PREVIEW or the One Day  PREVIEW.

Family Programs

East Tennessee State University believes parents and family members are valuable partners in student success. New Student & Family Programs provides parents and family members an opportunity to play an active role in the education of their student while he/she is enrolled at ETSU. We hope to answer questions and provide information about our programs and services; to provide opportunities for networking with other families; and enhance communication between the university and families.
