Applicants for admission to APSU, either for the main campus or for the Fort Campbell campus, are encouraged to submit an application online; paper applications may be submitted by mail to Austin Peay State University, Office of Admissions, Box 4548, Clarksville, TN 37044.

Deadlines for Filing Applications

Application deadlines can be found, by semester or term, on the APSU Academic Calendar, located at http://www.apsu.edu/Registrar/acadcal.

Freshman Admission Requirements

Any student who enters APSU with fewer than 12 transferable credit hours completed after graduation from high school is considered to be a first-time freshman and must meet freshman admissions requirements. A student who was dual enrolled in college courses while still in high school and has not attended college AFTER high school graduation is considered as a new freshman, regardless of the number of hours earned with dual enrollment.

High School Graduation

Public School—graduates of public schools must submit an official high school transcript showing dates/terms of attendance, credits earned while enrolled, and date of graduation. Transcripts for graduates of Tennessee public high schools must note that the applicant passed the required proficiency examinations. The Special Education diploma or High School Certificate is not accepted.

Non-Public School—graduates of all non-public high schools must submit an official transcript showing dates/terms of attendance, credits earned, and date of graduation. The transcript of a home-school applicant must be an official copy from an affiliated organization as defined by state law (TCA 49-50-801) or it may be accompanied by certification of registration from the local education agency which the student would otherwise attend. Purchased transcripts from organizations not requiring high school attendance for completion of grades 9-12 are considered unsatisfactory documentation of high school graduation. Applicants who are unable to provide a satisfactory high school credential may substitute acceptable scores on the GED examination.

Completion of TBR-Required High School Courses

All students graduating from high school since 1989 must show proof of satisfactory completion of the 14 core academic units required by TBR.  A detailed description of courses may be found in Appendix A .

Assessment Requirements

All freshman applicants must submit assessment scores with the application for admission.

Students under 21 years of age. ACT/SAT scores earned within 3 years of the first day of the first semester or term of enrollment are required.

Applicants who present an ACT English score of 31 through 36 (690-800 SAT) will receive academic credit for ENGL 1010  and ENGL 1020 . Credits will be applied to the student’s academic record after the completion of the first semester or term of enrollment.

An official transcript from the home college or university may be accepted in place of the letter of good standing, if the transcript reflects the student’s good standing. An official transcript may be required if needed to document the completion of any prerequisites required for enrollment in course(s). Transient students remaining at Austin Peay will need to re-apply for admission and resubmit a letter of good standing or an official transcript for a subsequent semester/term.

Adult Special Students will be limited to enrolling in a maximum of 24 semester hours. Adult Special Students are not allowed to register for college-level mathematics or English unless the appropriate portion of the assessment test (COMPASS) is taken. Adult Special Students who later decide to seek a degree from the University must submit all academic credentials and satisfy all admissions requirements. Applicants who are denied regular admission will be denied admission as a Special Applicant for the same semester.

Readmission Applicants

Applicants seeking readmission to the APSU main campus must resubmit an application for admission if they have missed one semester or more (excluding summer) and submit all transcripts from every institution attended since last attending APSU, regardless of whether credit was earned.

Immunizations

The state of Tennessee requires all first-time, transfer, readmit and graduate full-time students to provide proof of two immunizations with the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine and two immunizations with the Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. A student will not be allowed to register for classes until these requirements are met. For additional information, contact Student Health Services at (931) 221-7107. The state of Tennessee mandates that each public or private post-secondary institution provide information concerning hepatitis B infection to all students entering the institution for the first time. Those students who will be living in on-campus housing for the first time must also be informed about the risk of meningococcal meningitis infection. Tennessee law requires that such students complete and sign a waiver form provided by the institution that includes detailed information about the diseases. The information concerning these diseases is from the Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association. The law does not require that students receive the vaccination; however, the law does require students to provide a signed copy of the waiver form to APSU, Student Health Services, Box 4655, Clarksville, TN 37044 or fax to (931) 221-7388.

Residency

An applicant’s residency classification is made at the time of admission in accordance with Tennessee Board of Regents regulations. Non-Tennessee residents classified as in-state for fee payment purposes include military personnel stationed in Tennessee or Fort Campbell, their spouses and dependents; residents from the Kentucky counties of Christian, Logan, Todd, Trigg, Allen, Calloway, and Simpson; and part-time students employed full-time in Tennessee. APSU residency regulations can be found in Appendix C .

Residency Classification: New and returning students may submit the Application for Residency form to the Office of Admissions before enrolling; continuing students may submit the Application for Residency form to appeal current status to the Office of the Registrar. The Residency Appeals Committee meets only once each term during the week prior to the beginning of classes.
