Direct Admissions for Recent High School Seniors

The State of Tennessee launched a TN Direct Admissions program for recently graduated high school students planning on attending Nashville State, but you still need to enroll and register for classes.

Before you can register, we need more information from you. Until you complete this Enrollment Form (in the status portal), we cannot finish setting up your account, and you will not be able to register for classes.

The sooner you finish your Enrollment Form (in status portal), the sooner we can get you registered, and the sooner you get first pick of the class times that work best for you.
