Interested in Returning to TSU? Important Readmission Information

If you're considering re-enrolling at TSU, please take note of the following guidelines:

Voluntary Leave: If you left the university voluntarily and did not enroll in courses for one or more regular semesters, you'll need to submit a readmission application. Note that summer semesters do not count as regular semesters for this purpose.
Returning After Other Institutions: If you attended another college or university after leaving TSU, you must apply for readmission and provide transcripts from all institutions attended since your departure. Your combined grade point average (GPA) from all colleges must meet TSU's retention standards.
Re-enrollment After Suspension: If you were suspended from TSU, follow the steps outlined above, plus the following specifics:
- Students suspended after the fall semester cannot register until the next summer.
- Students suspended after the spring semester may re-enroll the following spring semester.
- Students suspended after the summer session are also not eligible to re-enroll until the following spring semester.
- If you attend another accredited institution during your suspension and improve your GPA to meet TSU's retention standards, you may be allowed to return.
Summer Grades: For retention and re-enrollment purposes, grades from Summer I and Summer II will be considered as one term.

For any further questions or assistance with the readmission process, please reach out to the admissions office. We look forward to welcoming you back to TSU!

Once you are readmitted, you may contact your Academic College for further guidance on advisement/registration for courses. If you have Financial Aid or Billing questions, you may contact the office of Financial Aid or Bursar.

Financial Aid Information

1. General Financial Aid/Verification - finaid@tnstate.edu
Financial aid encompasses various forms of funding to help cover educational expenses. This can include grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities. If you apply for financial aid, your application may undergo a verification process. This involves confirming the accuracy of the information you provided on your FAFSA or other financial aid applications. Be prepared to submit additional documentation, such as tax forms or income statements, to verify your financial status.

2. Scholarships - scholarships@tnstate.edu
Scholarships are awarded based on various criteria, including academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, or financial need. Unlike loans, scholarships do not need to be repaid. TSU offers both merit-based and need-based scholarships. Be sure to check deadlines and eligibility requirements, and explore external scholarship opportunities as well.

3. Loans - loans@tnstate.edu
Loans are borrowed funds that must be repaid with interest. Federal student loans typically offer lower interest rates and flexible repayment options. TSU participates in federal loan programs, including Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. It’s crucial to understand the terms and conditions of any loans you consider, including repayment timelines and interest rates.

4. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) - sap@tnstate.edu
To maintain eligibility for financial aid, students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards. This generally includes maintaining a minimum GPA and completing a certain percentage of attempted courses. If you fail to meet these standards, you may lose your financial aid eligibility. If this happens, you can appeal the decision, often by demonstrating a plan for improvement or addressing any extenuating circumstances.

For more detailed information on any of these topics, please consult the Financial Aid Office or visit the TSU financial aid website. They can provide personalized assistance and guidance tailored to your specific situation.
