Next, have your high school guidance counselor send an Official Transcript to the Office of Admission. Make sure your cumulative GPA and class rank (if available) are included on your transcript. 

Also, have your official ACT/SAT scores sent to the Office of Admission. 

The best way to ensure that the Bethel College Office of Admission receives each item of the Application file is to have your Guidance Counselor collect the items and mail them directly to our office. 

Finally, you must submit MMR and tetanus immunization records. The State of Tennessee requires all students born after 1956 to furnish documented proof of two MMR immunizations and one tetanus immunization. Click here to print the basic immunization proof form for you health provider to complete and mail back to us.
