Apply for Admission Admission
If you’re a freshman… We are looking to enroll a group of new students who will be academically motivated in the classroom and who will bring a diverse pool of talents and interests to Appalachian. Admission decisions are based on meeting the minimum course requirements (MCR) for North Carolina and a combination of high school achievement and SAT or ACT score. (Appalachian requires the writing portion of the SAT and the ACT.) Admission is competitive; that is, we receive more applications than we have room for in our freshman class, so apply early, complete the application process in a timely fashion and make sure you meet all deadlines.

If you’re a transfer student… Many students start college elsewhere and choose to transfer to Appalachian. Whether you’re transferring from a community college or another four-year institution, our Office of Transfer Articulation (OTA) is there to help you navigate the transfer process. The transfer website contains all the information you need to know. You can also find check sheets online to help you determine how your college credit obtained at other universities/colleges will transfer into Appalachian.
