Q: I haven’t heard anything back after applying. What do I do?
A: Call 423-439-4213 or email go2etsu@etsu.edu to check on your application status! We will always send communication to applicants to let them know their application was received, and whether any missing documents need to be submitted. If you have not heard anything at all, it is most likely that your $25 application fee has not been received, which prevents your application from being electronically processed. Please contact us for assistance.
