Tartan Transfer Declaration of Intent Application

This Declaration of Intent is the first step to participate in our Tartan Transfer Program! Accepted students will have access to a designated Radford University Tartan Transfer Academic Advisor as well as select co-curricular experiences.

In addition to this Declaration of Intent, you will need to also provide a copy of transcript(s) from all colleges attended. Acceptance to the Tartan Transfer program requires a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and enrollment at a participating VCCS school.

This Declaration of Intent serves as an abbreviated admissions application. You may select your intended entry term up to two years in advance. Please note that while you will not need to submit a future transfer admissions application, you may be required to submit additional materials prior to your start at Radford University, including official transcript(s) showing a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA.

Students accepted to the Tartan Transfer Program will be notified by email. If you have questions about the program or your next steps, please contact Sherry Hazelwood, Senior Director of Admissions for Transfer Partnership and Recruitment, at shazelwood@radford.edu.
