A degree-seeking applicant who has attended another college or university will be considered a transfer student.* Applicants in this category should:

  1. Apply using the online application for admission located at www.roanestate.edu.
  2. Provide proof of U.S. Citizenship or lawful presence in the United States.
  3. All students must complete the Immunization Health History form. The General Assembly of the State of Tennessee mandates that each public or private postsecondary institution in the state provide information concerning Hepatitis B, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (Chicken Pox) infections to all students enrolling for the first time. Tennessee law requires that these students complete and sign a waiver form provided by the institution which includes detailed information about the diseases. The form must be completed by a parent or guardian of any applicant under the age of 18.
  4. Submit official high school transcripts or official copy of High School Equivalency (HSE) scores. Transcripts must be mailed directly to the Admissions and Records Office or sent via an electronic transcript service (not email) and should include date of graduation as well as verification that the student passed the required proficiency examination. The transcript of a home school student should be an official copy from an affiliated organization as defined by state law (T.C.A. 49-50-801). Transcripts from independent home school students must be accompanied by certification of registration with the superintendent of the local education agency which the student would otherwise attend. Students unable to provide a satisfactory secondary school credential may substitute acceptable High School Equivalency (HSE) scores.
  5. Submit official transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions. Transcripts are not accepted from students. Transcripts should be mailed directly to the Admissions and Records Office or sent via an electronic transcript service (not email). Until official copies of all college transcripts have been received and evaluated by the Admissions and Records office, the student may not be eligible to receive Financial Aid.
    • Students who have taken college course work at a college or university outside of the United States must provide both a certified English translation and a course-by-course credit evaluation performed by a recognized evaluation service (naces.org/members).
  6. Transfer students who have successfully completed a college-level English and mathematics course from a regionally accredited institution are exempt from the Accuplacer exam. Transfer students who have completed neither, or only one, of these college-level courses will be required to take one or more parts of the Accuplacer test. Transfer students under age 21 may also be placed based on a high school GPA of 3.60 or higher or submission of ACT or SAT scores less than five (5) years old.
  7. Transfer applicants whose last term of attendance resulted in academic suspension and who are currently serving a suspension at another institution must meet with the Admission and Retention Committee to request admission.

All transfer credit will be posted within the first term of enrollment. Learning Support course work taken at other TBR institutions will be posted to the student’s RSCC transcript and will be considered in determining the number of attempts. Credits for courses not corresponding with the curriculum at Roane State shall be entered on the transcript as elective credit.

*Students who have only taken courses at another college or university while still in high school are not considered transfer students. These individuals are considered first-time college students.
