Are you ready to be a Mountaineer? We can't wait to learn more about you, your goals and how App State can help get you there. Transferring should be simple - our goal is to make it simple. We’ll support you through your Appalachian experience by making sure that classes you take in the meantime will transfer to Appalachian and by guiding you through admission, financial aid, housing, and distance learning processes. You are considered a transfer student if you have completed college coursework since graduating high school, including military-affiliated and second-degree seeking applicants.
To determine what may transfer, use our Transfer Equivalency Course Search. Use the NC Community College Transfer Guides to explore what courses to take before transferring.
