Congratulations!
Congratulations on your admission to Georgia College & State University! Receiving an offer of admission to the university is only the first step. To reserve your space, all admitted first-year students (and transfer students with 12 or less credit hours) wishing to reserve their seats must submit the following.
- a $200 non-refundable enrollment confirmation deposit
- a $235 housing application fee & security deposit ($200 of which is refundable up to May 1)
Students are encouraged to submit their deposits as soon as they are certain of Georgia College as their college choice, especially since room assignments and roommate preferences are based on date priority.
Students admitted for fall will need to complete the following steps by May 1. Students admitted for spring will need to complete the following steps by December 1.
Additional deposit information will arrive with the acceptance package. Any student canceling a housing contract after May 1 will forfeit the housing security deposit.
