Transfer Student Application Process

• Complete the online application for admission or call our office at (800) 844-APSU to request a paper application. You will pay a nonrefundable $15 application fee.

• Ask your previous college(s), high school or GED test center staff person to send copies of your transcripts/GED scores directly to the APSU Office of Admissions.

  You can use the Transcript Request Form to do this. We need this information, even if you do not want to transfer your class credits to APSU.

  If you graduated from high school or earned a GED before 1989, we do not need your high school transcript or GED scores.

• Take the COMPASS test if you cannot submit valid ACT or SAT scores AND have not earned credits for college-level English composition and/or college-level math. Contact APSU's Testing Center at (931) 221-6269 for COMPASS test information.

• Submit a certificate of immunization form. You'll need to complete this form and have it signed by a certified healthcare provider. Click here to print the form.

• Transfer equivalencies are available for our Tennessee Board of Regents community college and Hopkinsville Community College (KY) here.

All required information must be received prior to admission, evaluation of transfer credit and registration.
