Georgia State University welcomes applications from all qualified individuals regardless of race, color, sex, religion, creed, age, sexual orientation, gender, disability, national origin or immigration status. Admission is based on a number of factors, depending upon level of entry and previous educational experience. Admission and placement decisions are made by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions using criteria approved by the University Senate and developed in accordance with policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Admission decisions are based on factors such as, but not limited to, an applicant’s academic record, test scores, optional essay and letter of recommendation, circumstances, good conduct and character. Georgia State guarantees admission to all qualified applicants by Board of Regents standards.
Applications received after the deadline for the term of application or received without a designated term will be processed for the next available term. The application fee is non-refundable. Completed applications submitted to the university are valid for 3 terms (the next available term plus the 2 consecutive terms that follow). To be considered during the second or third consecutive term after submitting an application, applicants need only submit a reactivation form, together with any required credentials, by the application deadline date for that particular term. An offer of admission by the university is valid only for the term specified by the university at the time of acceptance and does not constitute approval for any term not so specified.
Applicants with a criminal and/or disciplinary history who are determined to be otherwise admissible for a respective term based on their academic record and other credentials are required to complete a disciplinary/criminal review process before an admission decision is made by the university.* Instructions for completing that review process are communicated to the applicant after the university has determined that the applicant is otherwise admissible for that term.
Absent extenuating circumstances, good disciplinary standing at previously attended high schools, colleges and universities is a condition of admission for all applicants. For purposes of admission, good disciplinary standing means that the applicant has no pending disciplinary charges, outstanding disciplinary sanctions or disciplinary issues that would prevent the applicant from re-enrolling at the previously attended institution.
Omissions or misrepresentations on an application for admission are grounds for automatically invalidating consideration by, acceptance to and continuation at Georgia State. Applicants have a duty to update their application with Georgia State when information changes after application submission.
All materials submitted as part of an application for admission become and remain the property of the university and will not be returned to the applicant, duplicated, or transferred to another institution.
*Applicants are required to answer the following background questions on the Georgia State University admissions application:
Any changes in a student’s record prior to enrollment will necessitate a new review of the application. Any omissions or misrepresentations on a student’s application for admission will automatically invalidate consideration by, acceptance to and continuation at Georgia State.
All credentials submitted with the application for admission become and remain the property of the university and will not be returned to the student, duplicated, or transferred to another institution.
Admission to Georgia State University or re-entry approval does not imply admission to a specific major or professional program.
Georgia State University admits all academically qualified undergraduate students, regardless of immigration status.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires all students applying to Georgia State University to provide verification of their lawful presence in the United States to be granted the in-state tuition rate.
This requirement is detailed in the following Board of Regents policies:
Students may be verified through one of the following options below:
This includes students who have been previously enrolled at Georgia State but are either returning (re-entry) to a degree program or applying for a new degree program. Transient students must also be verified.
Students with special talents who do not meet the university admission standards are considered through a special admissions review process. Applications for students in this category are reviewed by a subcommittee of the University Senate on Admissions and Standards which makes a recommendation to the Provost. In their determinations, the committee will review grade point average, test scores, grades and other relevant factors.
The committee members will recommend to the Provost those students whom they determine have a reasonable chance of academic success at Georgia State University. Recommendations include the committee’s rationale for each student.
Decisions to deny admission to special talent applicants by the Office of Admissions may be appealed by the chair of an academic department or the Athletic Director to the Provost for Academic Affairs.
Those applicants who have never enrolled in a regionally-accredited college or university (unless jointly enrolled while completing high school) are freshman applicants.
An application for admission and the nonrefundable application fee must be submitted or postmarked by the established deadlines. Applicants are encouraged to apply online at admissions.gsu.edu/how-do-i-apply/. Complete credentials must be received before a decision can be made. All required credentials should be submitted to the Office of Admissions no later than fifteen business days following the submission date of the application for admission.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions offers three deadlines for Fall application to the University: Honors and Scholarship Consideration and Priority Application. The deadlines are as follows:
Deadline | |
---|---|
Honors and Scholarship Priority | November 15 (notification by December 15) |
Final Application Deadline | April 1 |
Final Document Deadline | June 1 |
First-time freshmen applying for fall semester entry will be considered for admission beginning in September and decisions will be released on a rolling basis throughout the academic year until enrollment goals have been met. It is recommended that applicants apply as early as possible to be considered for admission, university housing, scholarship funding and need-based financial aid.
If you wish to be considered for the Georgia State Honors College and/or for a Georgia State University scholarship based on competitive test scores and academic achievement, be sure to submit your completed application by November 15 and related documents by December 1. Only applicants with completed admission files, including submission of all required admission documents and fee will be considered for possible scholarships.
Freshmen applicants choosing this plan must submit their application no later than April 1 of their senior year. Those applicants with completed admission files, including test scores, essay, letter of recommendation, transcript(s), fee, and any requested additional documentation will be notified no later than April 1. Primary consideration under the Regular Decision plan will also be focused on demonstrated academic achievement (grades in Required High School Curriculum courses, rigor of curriculum, and performance on the SAT or ACT with writing assessment), with secondary consideration given to a combination of the following factors: intellectual pursuits, creative endeavors, and intercultural experiences; public service, co-curricular activities, community involvement, leadership, and family commitments; and integrity and personal maturity.
An application for admission and the nonrefundable application fee must be submitted or postmarked by the established deadlines. Complete credentials must be received before a decision can be made. All required credentials should be submitted to the Office of Admissions no later than fifteen business days following the submission date of the application for admission.

Note: All deadlines are subject to change.
Admission to Georgia State University is a selective process and meeting minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance. All of the following minimum requirements must be met in order for an applicant to receive consideration as a freshman:
RHSC-Deficient Freshman
Applicants admitted with RHSC deficiencies must complete the RHSC requirements by taking the Georgia State courses in the sciences, social sciences or foreign languages (depending on the area of their RHSC deficiencies). These courses will be selected by the University Advisement Center. Credits earned in courses taken to meet RHSC deficiencies do count towards graduation requirements. Students must earn a grade of C or better in those courses they take to meet RHSC deficiencies. Students must complete all RHSC-required courses either prior to enrollment or before they earn 30 hours at the University. Otherwise, they may not register for any courses except RHSC courses until all RHSC requirements are complete.
Home-Schooled Students
Applicants for freshman admission who have been home-schooled or graduated from non-accredited high schools may be considered for admission by meeting one of the following two criteria:
Option One: Portfolio Admission
Applicants who wish to apply for admission under the portfolio review option must:
Option Two: SAT Subject Test Admission
Applicants who wish to apply for admission under the SAT Subject Test option must:
The appropriate level of competency in a foreign language will be evaluated by the Georgia State University Department of World Languages and Cultures, using methods including both oral and written components.
Those applicants who have previously attended a regionally-accredited college or university (except for students jointly enrolled while completing high school) are transfer applicants.
An application for admission and the nonrefundable application fee must be submitted or postmarked by the established deadlines. Applicants are encouraged to apply online at admissions.gsu.edu/how-do-i-apply/transfer-students/. Complete credentials must be received before a decision can be made. All required credentials should be submitted to the Office of Admissions no later than fifteen business days following the submission date of the application for admission. Applications are processed in the order in which they are complete and ready for a decision. Students wishing to be considered for a subsequent term must submit a reactivation form at the following website (admissions.gsu.edu/how-do-i-apply/other-enrollment-types/reactivation/), and any additional credentials that may be necessary by the appropriate deadline. Applicants interested in early registration dates and orientation, university housing, and/or financial aid are urged to apply and complete their applications by the Deadline Dates listed below.
Semester | Early Deadline | Regular Deadline |
Fall | February 1 | August 1 |
Spring | October 1 | December 1 |
Summer | February 1 | April 1 |
Note: All deadlines are subject to change.
For international student application deadline dates, please see Section 1165.
The professional and clinical programs in the Byrdine F Lewis School of Nursing and Health Professions may have earlier deadlines. Please contact the Office of Academic Assistance, Byrdine F Lewis School of Nursing and Health Professions, 404-413-1000, for information on procedures and deadline dates.
All of the following minimum requirements must be met in order for an applicant to receive consideration as a transfer, but meeting them does not guarantee admission. An applicant must:
Transfer students should be aware of the Board of Regents’ requirements in reading, writing, history, and constitution (see sections 1420 and 1425).
When an applicant is accepted for undergraduate transfer admission, courses that parallel the curriculum of Georgia State University will be accepted for transfer credit. Credit must have been earned at institutions of higher education with full accreditation by one of the following accreditors:
Courses completed at a two-year college will be granted lower-division credit.
The total number of hours that may be earned toward a degree by extension or correspondence courses may not exceed 30 semester hours.
Joint Services Transcript (JST) credits earned while serving in the Armed Services may also be evaluated for transfer credit on a case by case basis by the student’s academic advisor in conjunction with the academic department offering the course.
In general, transfer credit will not be awarded for a course that a student has previously attempted at Georgia State (including attempts which resulted in a withdrawal). However, individual departments may waive this rule for their courses.
Because the university has a minimum academic residence requirement, the amount of transfer credit applicable to a degree program may be limited. (See Section 1440.) In addition, Colleges and Departments have their own transfer credit policies and this may also limit the amount of transfer credit applicable to a degree program. All such policies are stated in the Undergraduate Bachelor-Level Catalog in the following sections:
Georgia State maintains a web resource, advisement.gsu.edu/transfer-students/equivalency-charts/, which indicates courses at other institutions that will be accepted as transfer credit (subject to the restrictions noted in this section).If a course at another institution is not on this list, students should consult with the University Advisement Center.
The D Credit Grade Restriction applies to both resident and transfer credit. (See Section 1450.)
A student who takes a course at another institution will not receive transfer credit for that course until the end of the semester following the semester in which the course was taken. Therefore, students may not take courses for degree credit at another institution during the semester they plan to graduate from Georgia State.
A transition student is a student who wishes to move to the Atlanta campus for bachelor study after beginning on an associate’s degree track at one of our Perimeter College campuses.
Requirements
Students who transition from Georgia State’s Perimeter College to the Atlanta campus must have achieved at least a 2.0 GPA and completed at least 30 hours of credit. Proof of lawful presence must be provided to receive in-state tuition at the Atlanta campus.
Students who wish to transition must complete out the Transition application to have their records transferred from the associate degree to the bachelor degree track.
All learning support and required high school curriculum courses must be completed to matriculate at Georgia State University’s Atlanta Campus. Students should complete Area A of the Board of Regents’ core curriculum prior to transition.
Note: once you have been accepted to the Atlanta campus, you will no longer be able to take classes at the Perimeter campuses.
Those applicants who have received a bachelor’s degree and who wish to take undergraduate courses without being admitted to a second undergraduate degree program are postbaccalaureate applicants. An applicant wishing to seek a second baccalaureate degree should refer to Section 1125. Georgia State University graduates should refer to Section 1170.
Semester | Deadline |
Fall | August 1 |
Spring | December 1 |
Summer | April 1 |
Note: All deadlines are subject to change.
For international student application deadline dates, please see Section 1165.
After the Regular Deadline Dates, only postbaccalaureate applications that are complete at the time of submission (application, nonrefundable application fee, and all required documents) will be processed and only if space is available and time permits.
An applicant wishing to seek a second bachelor’s degree in a professional or clinical program in the Byrdine F Lewis School of Nursing and Health Professions should apply to the university as a transfer student. Once a student has been admitted to the university, there is a second application process for those interested in majors in the Byrdine F. Lewis School of Nursing and Health Professions. Please contact the Office of Academic Assistance, Byrdine F. Lewis School of Nursing and Health Professions, for information on procedures and deadline dates.
Postbaccalaureate applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent from an institution of postsecondary education with full accreditation by a regional association of colleges and schools and, where appropriate, the Commission on Colleges.
The postbaccalaureate status is not available for applicants seeking teacher certification in any area other than music education and art education (see Section 1605).
In order to be considered for admission as a postbaccalaureate student, an applicant must complete an application for undergraduate admission (including the nonrefundable fee) and submit an official transcript from the degree-granting institution by the appropriate deadline. If a student wishes to change to a degree-seeking status after enrolling at Georgia State University as a postbaccalaureate student, conditions for acceptance as a transfer student must be met. An application for admission, the nonrefundable application fee and required transcripts must be filed with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions located in 200 Sparks Hall by the established application deadline for the intended semester of entry.
All scholastic discipline policies and all course prerequisite policies are applicable to Postbaccalaureate students. Postbaccalaureates may not attend another institution as transient students from Georgia State. Transient status is only for degree-seeking students. Postbaccalaureate students wishing to attend another institution must apply directly to the other school.
Students who are currently enrolled in a transferable degree program at another accredited college or university in the United States who wish to register at Georgia State University for the purpose of completing work to transfer back to the home institution are transient applicants. Transient students may attend for only one fall or one spring semester. However, attendance as a transient student in summer semesters is unlimited.
Semester | Deadline |
Fall | August 1 |
Spring | December 1 |
Summer | April 1 |

For international student application deadline dates, please see Section 1165.
After the Regular Deadline Dates, only transient applications that are complete at the time of submission (application, nonrefundable application fee, and all required documents) will be processed and only if space is available and time permits.
To be eligible for admission as a transient, a student must submit an application for undergraduate admission (including the nonrefundable fee) and request an official statement granting permission to enroll as a transient student from the home institution. The appropriate academic official at the home institution must send this statement directly to Georgia State University. The application will be valid for 3 terms (the initial term plus 2 additional terms). Students who do not enroll the semester for which they were accepted and wish to register later must either reactivate their application or submit a new application by the application deadline and arrange for a current official statement updated for the new semester to be sent.
International students who are attending school on another institution’s immigration document (F-1/I-20, J-1/IAP-66) will not be issued any additional documents, but must also submit a statement of permission from the International/Foreign Student Advisor at the home institution.
The following regulations are applicable to transient students:
Non-traditional applicants are defined as individuals who meet all of the following criteria:
A non-traditional applicant must follow the freshman deadlines (see Section 1120) for submitting an application, nonrefundable application fee and transcripts. Applicants are encouraged to apply online at admissions.gsu.edu.
Applicants must take the ACCUPLACER assessment to be admitted to the university. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions notifies applicants of test date, time, and location. Applicants must earn the following scores on the ACCUPLACER to be eligible for admission: Nex-Gen Reading = 237, ACCUPLACER Writing = 4, and Nex-Gen QAS (math) = 258. If the file is not completed in time for testing to be scheduled prior to registration, it may become necessary to update the application to a future semester.
At Georgia State, we have three programs that give academically outstanding high school students an opportunity to enroll in undergraduate courses. Students have a choice to enroll in Dual Enrollment (previously known as Move On When Ready) to earn both high school and college credits. We also offer Joint Enrollment, but in this program, students only earn college credit.
Dual Enrollment is an opportunity for academically outstanding high school students to enroll as special non-degree seeking undergraduate students at Georgia State before graduation from high school. Students must be enrolled full-time (12-17 semester hours) and will earn both high school and college credits. Participation is only permitted during the normal fall and spring semesters of the high school and college year.
To be eligible for Dual Enrollment, a student must:
Because of the demanding nature of college-level course work at a research institution, Dual Enrollment students must demonstrate a high degree of academic potential and maturity. To be considered for admission, a student must meet all three requirements for admission:
Applicants must submit the application, nonrefundable application fee and required documents by the appropriate deadline.
Semester | Deadline |
Fall | May 1 |
Spring | November 1 |
Summer | April 1 |
Talk to your high school guidance counselor about the classes you want to take. All schedules are subject to the approval of the appropriate high school official and Georgia State University. Students will take all coursework at Georgia State University’s main campus. Dual Enrollment courses must be selected from the approved Dual Enrollment course list. Coursework taken through Dual Enrollment does not count against HOPE Scholarship or HOPE Grant hours.
The cost for full-time coursework up to 17 semester hours from the approved course listing will be funded by the high school Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) program. Eligible participating institutions will accept the determined Dual Enrollment amount as full payment for the student’s tuition and mandatory fees. Other cost of attendance expenses including lab fees, books, meals, transportation and personal expenses are the responsibility of the parent/guardian. Any additional credit hours and/or courses not covered under the approved course list must be paid for out of pocket. Students must be aware that grades of C- or better apply to all classes, whether covered out of pocket or through FTE funding.
Dual Enrollment students must follow the following academic regulations in addition to all the other academic regulations of Georgia State University.
Dual Enrollment students should be aware that they must meet all state high school graduation testing requirements, including End of Course Tests and the Georgia High School Graduation Tests. Georgia State courses are not designed to prepare students for these tests.
High school students may supplement and enhance their high school curriculum by enrolling in college courses as a joint enrollment student. Courses taken through joint enrollment result in college credit, not high school credit, and students are responsible for their tuition and fees. Students wishing to attend as a joint enrollment student must meet the Joint Enrollment Program admission requirements of Georgia State University.
To be eligible for Joint Enrollment, a student must:
Students must demonstrate a high degree of academic potential and maturity to be considered for Joint Enrollment (Program for Excellence/PFE).

Early College is a program that allows students from selected high schools to enroll at Georgia State. Early College students enrolled in a participating high school may earn a high school diploma with the potential to earn an Associate’s degree or two years of college credit towards a Bachelor’s degree. Unlike Dual Enrollment and Joint Enrollment, Early College enrollment is open only to students enrolled at an Early College high school that has partnered with Georgia State University.
Applicants must submit the application and required documents by the appropriate deadline. Early College deadlines are set by joint agreement of the Georgia State University Office of Admissions and the Early College high school. Students should consult their Early College liaison for applicable deadlines. Early College students do not pay an application fee.
Because of the demanding nature of college-level course work at a research institution, Early College students must have a high degree of academic potential and maturity. To be considered for admission, a student must meet the following minimum requirements:
In addition, the admission decision will also consider:
Students must also provide a copy of their most recent high school transcript showing all grades completed to date.
Admission to Georgia State under Early College does not imply admission to any other status. Early College students who later wish to enroll at Georgia State outside the Early College program must reapply.
Early College students must follow the following academic regulations in addition to all the other academic regulations of Georgia State University.
Early College students should be aware that they must meet all state high school graduation testing requirements, including End of Course Tests and the Georgia High School Graduation Tests. Georgia State courses are not designed to prepare students for these tests.
Applicants who meet the criteria listed below may apply for GSU-62 waivers of tuition and fees. The regulations listed also apply to the GSU-62 student who wishes to audit classes instead of taking courses for credit. Audit registration is completed by the Enrollment Services Center and requires permission from the instructor prior to registration.
Applicants must submit the application and required documents by the appropriate deadline.

The following minimum requirements must be met in order for a student to receive a GSU-62 waiver.
GSU-62 students will register on a space available basis during late registration. No tuition and fees will be assessed except for certain classes which require supplies or laboratory fees. All usual student and institutional records will be maintained.
This status can include graduate studies with the exception of the College of Law. Contact the appropriate graduate office in the university for application information. GSU-62 students must be admitted to graduate study to be eligible to enroll for graduate courses (those numbered 5000 and higher). Although you will be applying to graduate school, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions as all waivers are entered through that office.
Applicants to Georgia State University are classified as international applicants if they meet any of the following criteria:
Non-native speakers of English who meet all admission requirements except the English language proficiency requirement may be granted conditional admission. To be eligible for conditional admission, applicants must have a TOEFL score of 480 (paper test) or 54(internet-based test) or an IELTS score of 5.5. Students granted conditional admission will be required to take certain full-time courses in the Intensive English Program (IEP) before being fully admitted into Georgia State’s undergraduate study. A student may remain on conditional admission status for no more than three semesters. For more information about the IEP, see iep.gsu.edu/.

Degree-seeking Re-entries. Applicants who previously attended Georgia State as degree-seeking and wish to return as degree-seeking must meet the following requirements:
Transient Re-entries. Students wishing to apply for re-entry as a transient student must submit an official transient letter from their home institution. Unofficial transient letters, transient letters opened by the student, and fax copies are not acceptable. The transient letter must indicate that the student has permission to attend Georgia State University for the desired term of enrollment.

Students seeking exception to this policy must contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Degree-seeking to Postbaccalaureate Re-entries. Previous degree-seeking students wishing to re-enroll as a postbaccalaureate student must submit a transcript from the institution awarding the baccalaureate degree.

All scholastic discipline policies and all course prerequisites are applicable to a transient student. Transcripts for courses completed at Georgia State as a transient must be requested from the Office of the Registrar to be sent to the home institution. Transient students are admitted to and register through the college or school selected on their application. If the applicant does not indicate a college, and if a transient approval has been received, placement will be determined from the courses indicated in the letter. Transient students who seek re-entry must complete a new re-entry form for the semester that they wish to attend.
The postbaccalaureate status is not available for students seeking teacher certification in any area other than music education and art education. Postbaccalaureates may not attend another institution as a transient student while the postbaccalaureate is a student at Georgia State University.
International students with student visas are required to carry a full course load (12 semester hours). International students with student visas who wish to re-enter must complete a new re-entry form for the semester that they wish to attend.
