Jackson State University® is an environment that inspires you to grow, learn, and reach beyond the ordinary. This is a “home away from home” where every student can find their place. Our team in Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment is committed to assisting prospective students and their families through the acceptance and enrollment process by providing essential information to help students successfully transition into the university. This webpage will provide you with the necessary information to guide your educational goals.
Students enrolled at another college or university may apply for admission as a transient student (temporary student who wishes to transfer credits to his/her home institution). Such admission carries no commitment for permission to register for either term of the regular academic year. Students from other college or universities must be in good standing or eligible to continue academic work at their respective institutions and are responsible for determining if these institutions will accept credits earned at Jackson State University.
The student must submit the following:
1. Completed application and
2. Official transcript (showing student is in good standing) or a letter of good standing from the home institution attended.
