Specific admission requirements for each graduate program are included with the description of that program in the section, Graduate Academic Programs. Transient students and Georgia residents 62 years of age or older are exempt from this fee. All applicants must provide Social Security numbers, which can be obtained at any Social Security office. Forms are available in the Admissions Office. Admission credentials must be filed before the deadline date listed on the calendar in this catalog.
Official consideration is given to an application only after all credentials are received.
When an application becomes ready for action during a peak period of activity in the Admissions Office, notification may be delayed. Ordinarily, application processing requires from three to six weeks. Applicants who wish to delay their date of entry to the university should notify the Admissions Office. After a year has elapsed, a new application, application fee, and credentials must be submitted. Students furnishing the university with false, incomplete, or misleading information relating to their application or academic record will be subject to denial or dismissal.
