Transfer students are required to present one official transcript from each institution previously attended. These transcripts must be mailed to JSU directly from the institution or placed in a sealed envelope from the institution. If less than 24 semester hours are accepted, students must also fulfill all requirements listed under the Freshman Admissions section. Students ineligible to return to the last institution attended may not be admitted to JSU. Transfer students may wish to contact the department of their respective major to determine if there are additional requirements for acceptance into their specific major.
