We strongly encourage students to apply six to nine months prior to the expected date of enrollment.

Students must submit an official high school transcript showing course work through the junior year at the time of application and submit a final high school transcript after graduation showing graduation date and diploma type.  JSU requires students to complete high school with an acceptable diploma type.  Successful completion of the GED is acceptable in lieu of high school graduation.
