Admission Standards
Under this agreement, in order to be eligible for admission to Tennessee Tech, you must have an associate degree from Pellissippi State and a minimum 2.0 grade point average.  Students not completing an associate degree will have their applications evaluated as any other transfer student.  In selected majors, a higher grade point average is required for admission.  Check the curricular requirements for the major of your choice for additional information.

Application
1. Complete the Undergraduate Application form.  Submit the form and a nonrefundable $15 application fee to the Office of Admissions, Tennessee Technological University, P. O. Box 5006, Cookeville, Tennessee 38505.  The application deadline date is two (2) weeks before the first day of registration.

2. Request each institution previously attended to mail official transcripts of all work completed and a partial transcript if presently enrolled in another institution. Request the mailing of a final transcript when all work is completed. Transcripts of all work attempted at the college level must be furnished.

3. The official grade point average will be computed on hours and grades earned at all previous colleges or universities.  Credit is transferred with the grade made in the course.  For example, an “A” is transferred as an “A” and an “F” is transferred as an “F.”

Students who have attempted fewer than 60 semester hours of college credit must also submit high school transcripts, and those who have not completed college credit Math or English courses must follow COMPASS/ASSET testing guidelines.
