Transfer students must complete an application for admission prior to registering. Transfer students must request that an official transcript from each college previously attended be mailed to Shelton State. Applicants who have completed a baccalaureate degree or higher and who do not plan to pursue a degree at Shelton State, are only required to submit an official transcript from the institution granting the highest degree. TRANSCRIPTS ARE ACCEPTED DIRECTLY FROM INSTITUTIONS, NOT FROM STUDENTS.

Transient and transfer students must have an application for admission on file 48 hours prior to registering. To register in this manner, students must have their student ID number and password. Students who do not remember their password should come to the Office of Admissions and Records on the Martin Campus. Passwords will not be given over the telephone. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution in the state of Alabama, should visit www.sheltonstate.edu and click on the STARS link. The Statewide Transfer & Articulation Reporting System (STARS) is a web-accessible database system which provides guidance and direction for prospective transfer students in the State of Alabama. The STARS System allows public two-year students in Alabama to obtain a Transfer Guide/Agreement for the major of their choice. Print and keep this guide. If used correctly, it guides the student through the first two years of coursework and prevents loss of credit hours upon transfer to the appropriate public four-year university in Alabama. Please refer to the STARS page for more information.
