University faculty and staff are here to assist you. If you've read the directions but still aren't clear on how something works, call the office that handles that area and ask for clarification. MTSU is a large campus, so be prepared that not every staff member can answer every question, especially when it's a question about an activity managed by another office. Your faculty advisor will also be an important source of information so get to know him or her. Second, using the instructions printed on the application for each type of student, request that any necessary transcripts and test scores be submitted to the Admissions Office.
Instructions are available online for freshmen , transfers , and other applicant categories .
We recommend that you send in the application first, before the transcripts and the test scores, so that we can create your admission file and match all other documents to the application. The priority deadlines are July 1 for Fall admission and December 1 for Spring admission. We cannot guarantee that applications received after these deadlines will be processed in time for you to register for classes. Freshman applicants are encouraged to apply during their senior year in high school and to submit their transcript after their midterm grades are posted. In many cases, we are able to offer tentative admission at this point.
