We are accepting Summer and Fall 2025 transfer applications.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. However, students are not guaranteed review after the posted application deadline. In reviewing applications, the GCSU Office of Admissions uses a holistic admissions process. This process not only exams the students’ academic record but also takes into consideration the competencies and experiences (full spectrum) of an applicant. Therefore meeting the minimum admission requirement does not guarantee acceptance. We suggest requesting transcripts via e-script.

Transfer Admissions Requirements
Applications are reviewed once a file becomes complete which means all required documentation has been received by the Georgia College Admissions Office. Admission files should be complete by the indicated priority deadlines.
1. Undergraduate Application
The Undergraduate application is used to apply as a transfer student. Please submit ONLY ONE application and use ONLY that application all the way through to submission. Submitting more than one application will most certainly delay your admission decision.

Note: If a student has 30 or more transferable credits, official test scores and personal essay are not required.
2. Application Fee/Fee Waiver
Application Fee: The $50 (non-refundable) online application fee is payable at the time of application for transfer applicants. The paper application fee is $55. If you submitted your application without paying the fee, you may do so through our payment portal.
Fee Waiver:
Transfer application processing fee is NOT required of:
- Applicants aged 62 and above
- Applicants who applied and/or enrolled and paid the application fee within the past six years
If you are exempt from paying the application fee, please select “Fee Waiver” option on your application to secure this waiver.
3. Transcript
Transcripts must be sent directly from each and every college attended (including technical institutions) to the GC Office of the Admissions.
Official formats for receiving transcripts: Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, Mail
Faxed documents and copies provided by the student are NOT considered official and will not be used for admission purposes. Courses from one institution that are listed on another college transcript will not substitute for an official transcript. Prior educational experience may not be omitted from an application package.

Transfer Decision Schedule
Transfer Decisions will be posted every other week. Students will be notified via email that there has been an update to their admissions application status.
Transfer Decision Process
1: Admit-Articulation Pending
Acceptance is pending confirmation (INTRO) and the entry of all college coursework you have submitted.
Notification: You will receive an official acceptance packet which will include your GCID and Bobcats email address.
* Class registration is available at this admissions stage after INTRO is received.
** Decision can be rescinded if your cumulative GPA falls below the required minimum.
2: Admit Conditional
The coursework you’ve submitted has been articulated, but acceptance is conditional on you submitting your FINAL transcript after your final semester/quarter grades at your current institution have been entered. Please send an official, updated transcript to the Office of Admissions once your final grades have been posted.
If the transcript you submitted is the final transcript that shows your final grades, then you move directly to Admit Final after the transcript has been articulated.
*You CANNOT be enrolled at two institutions for the same term. Make sure your final transcript doesn't show any courses in progress at your current institution for the same term you are applying to Georgia College. If “in progress” courses are on your final transcript, please drop the courses and re-send an updated transcript.
Notification: An official letter will be sent to your mailing address alerting you of the status change.
* Class registration is available at this admissions stage. Contact the Registrar’s Office for transfer registration start dates at 478-445-6286.
** Decision can be rescinded if your cumulative GPA falls below the required minimum.
