Students who graduated high school at least five years ago and have not yet attended college.
College graduates who want to take more undergraduate-level courses without pursuing another degree.
Former Georgia State students who have not registered for courses for the last three semesters.
Students enrolled at another college or university who would like to take classes at Georgia State and apply their credits to their home institution.
Nontraditional first-year students graduated high school at least five years ago and have not yet attended college.
Georgia State, like many other units of the University System of Georgia, uses the ACCUPLACER for an individualized evaluation to measure how prepared an applicant will be for college-level courses. Satisfactory scores in all three test sections is a good indication an applicant should be successful at working toward a college degree.
If you’re concerned that your high school preparation may not be adequate to enroll in college-level courses, you may consider enrolling in an accredited, local two-year unit of the University System of Georgia, such as Perimeter College, and then seek to transfer or transition to Georgia State’s Atlanta Campus.

A student’s application is valid for a total of three terms of entry, including the term marked initially on the application and the following two terms of entry. Students who wish to be considered for a term of entry within this time frame must complete a reactivation application and any required credentials by the application deadline date for the desired term of entry.
Once the two additional terms of entry have passed, the application and application fee is no longer valid. Students who do not reactivate their application during this allotted time are required to submit a new application, new application fee and any new transcripts (if applicable) to be considered for admission.
Transient students have enrolled at another college or university and would like to take classes at Georgia State, applying their credits to their home institution. Transient students can only attend one fall or one spring semester. However, students may apply to attend unlimited summer semesters. Please note, financial aid is not available for transient students.
Note: If you have attended Georgia State before as a transient student and wish to return as a transient student, you must submit a reactivation application and an updated statement of permission. If you wish to change your status to a transfer student after attending as a transient student, you MUST file a new application to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and submit a new $60 non-refundable application fee.
