Thank you for your interest in Athens State University! The Transfer Advising Center is here to ensure the transfer process is as easy and efficient as possible. Prospective students may contact a Transfer Advising Center counselor at any time for general information. Transferring students should contact a counselor in the Transfer Advising Center upon completion of an admission application, declaring a major and requesting transcripts from every college attended.

Transfer Advising Center counselors can work with students who provide an unofficial student copy of transcripts, however, the admissions office must have official copies of transcripts from all colleges attended during the students first semester at Athens State.

Transfer Advising Center counselors help students with transfer credit, complete an unofficial plan of study and assign faculty advisors. Students should plan to meet with the assigned faculty advisor their first semester at Athens State. Faculty advisors hold office hours during the regular semester, not between semesters. Faculty advisors are available in their offices for advising two weeks before on-line registration begins each semester. (Check the class schedule each semester for any changes due to holidays.)

The Transfer Advising Center is located in the Sandridge Student Center. Regular office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome, however, to ensure you are able to see a Transfer Center counselor appointments are recommended. The Transfer Advising Center can work with students by appointment, telephone, fax, e-mail and regular mail. Contact any Transfer Advising Center counselor for assistance, however, depending on your major, the Transfer Advising Center staff specializes in the general education requirements and the pre-professional area.
