Graduate and undergraduate applications to Augusta State University are considered on an individual basis. After all required data has been received, you will be notified by letter of the action taken. Although the University System of Georgia sets certain minimum standards for admission, the individual institutions retain the right to impose additional requirements. Accordingly, the university reserves the right to refuse admission to any applicant who, in its judgment, is not qualified to pursue work at Augusta State University. Such a decision may be based on a variety of factors: social maturity, character, or intellectual potential as indicated by previous academic work and appropriate examinations.

Similarly, the university reserves the right to determine the level of admission. Clearly, some students exhibit superior academic achievement and will enter at an advanced level and receive some college credit. Other students will enter Learning Support courses that attempt to provide the academic experiences and counselling designed to aid the student in overcoming his or her academic deficiencies.

You will be notified by letter as to the conditions of acceptance. Included in the same mailing will be orientation and registration dates and the assigned department for advising. If you are accepted on an unofficial or incomplete transcript, a final and official transcript is required before the admission is final. If this information has not been received by the day of registration, you may register on a conditional basis for one semester only. Registration for the succeeding semester will not be permitted unless the required document has been received. Under certain conditions, the university may release admissions decisions to high schools and colleges.

After admission, we will send you an information packet which includes registration, details, document requests, and special program information. You should read these materials carefully and supply any requested information prior to registration.

Graduate students should consult with their departmental advisers. For undergraduates, the best first resource is the university's START UP Center (731-7979). The center combines a variety of student advising and transition support programs designed to assist students in achieving their educational goals and accessing the full range of campus services and learning opportunities. Located on the third floor of Washington Hall, the START UP Center is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and until 4:30 p.m. on Friday during the semester. Between academic semesters, the office closes at 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
