Admit

Indicates that the Georgia College Office of Admissions has accepted you for the term indicated in the Term of Entry box. A package including important forms and other information will be mailed to the address indicated in the Name/Address section of your student portal. Final admission will be granted after receipt of final transcripts. 

WaitList

The waitlist is comprised of applicants who we are currently unable to admit due to the competitive nature of our applicant pool, combined with the limited number of spaces in the freshman class. Students who are given a waitlist decision have the opportunity to apply for the Bridge Scholars Program, but should be advised that this summer program has limited space. Waitlisted students can submit updated test scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendation at any time.

Possible Summer Candidate

Although we are unable to extend an admission offer for Fall semester, applicants with a 'Possible Summer Candidate' decision are being offered the opportunity to apply for Georgia College's Bridge Scholars Program.  The Bridge Scholars Program is a year-long learning community which begins with an intensive four-week summer session.  The summer program gives students the opportunity to begin their enrollment at Georgia College in a smaller 'cohort' environment and will provide support and resources to make sure these freshmen are successful in their transition to college, while earning 7 academic credits.  The Bridge Scholars Program will be limited to 132 students, and an interview will be required as a part of the application process. The student will receive information via email and mail on how to schedule their interview.

Recommended for further review

The application has been deferred to our regular admission process which will begin in January and continue until April 1 or until the freshman class is full. Applications are deferred to the regular process to give the Admissions Committee more time to thoroughly evaluate the student's credentials. Decisions will be based on the strength of the academic curriculum, grade point average, SAT or ACT test scores and essay, as compared to the rest of the applicant pool. During this time, students are encouraged to submit first semester grades from their high school, any new SAT or ACT test score results and any other items they feel will be helpful in the review of their application (resume of activities, letters of recommendation, etc.). Final decisions for these applications will be posted by the end of January. 

Gordon, Georgia Highlands, or Coastal Georgia Referral

The university is unable to extend an offer of admission to the applicant at this time, but believes that the applicant would be a good candidate for participation in the Pathways to Georgia College program. Through this program, a student begins their studies at one of the colleges mentioned above and transfers seamlessly to Georgia College after completing their Associate’s degree with a 2.5 transfer GPA or higher.

Denied

The university is unable to extend an offer of admission to the applicant at this time. Applicants may submit improved credentials (such as updated transcripts or additional test scores) for reconsideration if spaces remain the class. Freshman applicants are encouraged to take advantage of a transfer option for admission to Georgia College. Students can be considered for transfer admission after earning a minimum of 30 transferable semester credit hours at another accredited institution with an appropriate transfer GPA for the student's desired major.

Once the student's FINAL transcript has been received showing continued eligibility for admission, the student's acceptance is then finalized. For a new freshman, the final transcript must include the date of graduation and indicate completion of the College Preparatory Curriculum with a minimum of 16 academic units. For a transfer student, the final college transcript must indicate a satisfactory minimum GPA (some majors require a higher GPAs for program admission) based on all college coursework attempted. Note: Transcripts are only accepted as official when mailed directly to Georgia College from the issuing institution. Fax and student provided copies are not used for admission purposes.
