The earlier you apply and are admitted, the sooner you are invited to come to campus to pre-register for classes. Prime classes do fill up with registered students. Eastern does review closed classes and often opens new sections over the registration period.It is important to apply and send your transcripts to Eastern Illinois University as early as possible. Eastern accepts applications one year in advance. Even if you have not finished your Transferable Associate Degree, it is important to start your admission file at Eastern.

In order to be considered for admission, a transfer student must submit to the Office of Admissions:

1. Eastern's Official Application for Admission, (note: transfer students are not required to complete the personal statement section of the application)
2. $30 application fee,
3. official transcripts from all colleges and/or universities previously attended,
   mailed to Office of Admissions, 600 Lincoln Ave Charleston IL 61920-3099
4. course work in progress if currently enrolled in classes,
5. an official high school transcript,
6. official ACT or SAT scores (only used for admission when student does not meet 30 or 24 hour requirements--see above)
7. and a final official transcript at the completion of the last semester.
