Steps to Enroll:

• Submit the Declaration of Intent Form.

The admission application opens August 1 each year for the upcoming academic year. Once the admission application is open,  you should apply for admission rather than submit the declaration of intent.
• Upload unofficial transcripts from all U.S. and international colleges/universities attended within your declaration OR request official copies be sent to admissions@radford.edu; if this is your first semester enrolled at the community college, please also submit a copy of your high school transcript.
• Monitor your email for additional information about Tartan Transfer
