Transfer Applicants
Fall Term - April 1
Spring Term - September 1
Summer Term - March 1
Transfer deadlines are for both the application and for all college transcripts. UGA will only review academic work that is completed and sent to our office by the deadline. For example, Fall transfer applicants have a deadline of 4/1, so we can only review work completed and into our office by 4/1. We cannot use work from a Spring term where classes are in progress and will be completed after the deadline.
- Application and Application Fee
- Official transcripts from ALL colleges attended (even dual enrollment, transient, or other work)
- UGA will only use the work that is completed and is on the college transcript(s) in determining transferable hours, transfer GPA, etc. We do not review work that is in progress, so applicants must meet the transfer review criteria based on what is on the transcript(s) by the deadline.
If a deadline falls on a Sunday or a federal holiday, the postmark deadline will be extended to the first business day following the published deadline.
Plain and simple. I will not have 30 hours by April 1st, but I will have 31 hours by early May. Does this completely hinder my ability to transfer? If so, is it possible to transfer Spring Semester 2013 after gaining more hours from Fall 2012 or will I have to wait till my Junior year to have any hopes of transferring?
ReplyDeletePlain and simple, you do not meet the requirements to transfer for Fall 2012. You seem like you meet the hour and deadline requirements for Spring 2013 as a transfer (spring deadline is 9.1), so I would suggest that, and make sure your grades are strong.
DeleteDoes UGA require high school seniors to send in final transcripts? If so, what address would we send it to?
ReplyDeleteYes, UGA requires a final HS transcript for accepted freshman (and an updated college transcript for accepted transfers), and our address is on the bottom of all of our website pages, www.admissions.uga.edu.
DeleteI am in my second year of dual enrollment and when I graduate in May 2013, I will have 33 college credit hours (between valdosta state univeristy and columbus state university) I am hoping to apply as an Early Action, but may change my mind. When I apply, should I do it as a transfer? Or would I go through the process as if I were just a typical high school student?
ReplyDeleteI requested my SAT score report to be sent 2 weeks ago but collegboard says it is still pending. What if my score report does not make it before Oct. 15? Will I not be able to apply for early action?
ReplyDeleteIf you requested for your scores to be sent electronically to UGA two weeks ago, we should receive them in time for Early Action even if they are not received before the deadline.
DeleteI sent my sat score report today, but I'm not sure if you guys have received it. Is there a way I can make sure that you have?
ReplyDeleteThe scores must be sent by the testing agency, received by our office, and uploaded to our system. If you just sent them today, we would not have had time to receive them. You can check your myStatus to view everything that we have received for your application.
DeleteAm I allowed to send the college application fee waiver and official high school transcript in the same envelope? And what address do I send them to?
ReplyDeleteThey may be mailed in the same envelope, however your high school transcript should remain sealed in its original envelope. Our mailing address can be found at the bottom of our website, it is:
DeleteUndergraduate Admissions
Terrell Hall
210 South Jackson Street
Athens, Georgia 30602-1633
My counselor just told me that she submitted her counselor evaluation/reccomendation for early action. How long does it take to show up on the mystatus page that the college has received it ?
ReplyDeleteIf she did it online through our system, it takes a few business days. If she did it by paper and mailed it in, it takes a great deal longer, as it must go through the mail, be opened, scanned, and then matched. We will get it in, but please be patient, especially near the deadline.
DeleteI took the sat on October 6 this month. It says on Collegeboard that the scores will be sent out on the 25th of October because that is when they will be available. If this is the case, will you guys receive the scores on time for early action? I already requested the scores to be sent once they are available.
ReplyDeleteIf you designated UGA as a school to automatically receive your October SAT, we will receive your scores in time for Early Action.
DeleteI could not receive my fee waiver until yesterday, if it is not delivered by the October 15 deadline will my application still be considered for admission?
ReplyDeleteAll of our deadlines are postmark deadlines. As long as you send this to UGA by the deadline, we will receive it in time for Early Action.
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI have a question. I sent my SAT scores on Thursday on rush order to UGA since I am applying for EA. The website said that they would be sent in one to two business days. If my scores are not recieved by the October 15th deadline, will I not be considered for admission?
The exams must be completed and the scores requested by the deadline, so should be fine. Just be patient as we match up items.
DeleteOk! Thank you so much! I understand that UGA gets a ton of applicants. Just one last question, does UGA superscore the ACT, or is that just for the SAT?
DeleteWe superscore both the SAT and the ACT.
DeleteHi, my sat scores still have not showed up as received on mystatus page. Should it be there by now? I had last years and october 6th's scores of this year requested sent around three weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteDid you request the scores to be sent when you signed up for the 10/6 SAT? If so, check your score report and see if the SSN and full name (including the middle name) match the name on the UGA application. If there is a variance, email admproc@uga.edu to let us know and then be patient while we match things up, and scores will then show up on myStatus when we are able to do this.
Deletewhen do they open the applications for the spring of 2014?
ReplyDeleteThe Spring transfer application is accessible online in late May. This information can be found under "Timelines".
DeleteWhen will applicants who applied for early action be notified of admission?
ReplyDeleteWe do not have an exact date for Early Action decision release at this time.
DeleteI am wondering why does UGA make their deadline for transfer students on April 1st? Why does UGA make it to where a student who does have at least 30 hours and at least a 3.2 in their first year of college is not allowed to go to UGA until the spring semester? What is the reasoning behind doing that? I looked at Clemson University and they have theirs set up for June 1st. Makes me wonder why can't UGA make their Fall deadline at this time so kids who do work really hard and have good grades can get into UGA for the Fall semester after one year.
ReplyDeleteEvery college is different on their deadlines, and the reason behind their deadlines. Here is my explanation of our 4/1 Fall transfer deadline:
DeleteWe have set up our deadlines so that we can make decisions in a timely fashion (so you do not have to wait until late July for a decision), and so that we can keep our requirements and enrollment at a steady rate. If we shifted our deadline to late May/early June, we would have to raise the requirements (more students would apply and be considered for the same number of spaces), and we could not make decisions until after June 1 for most students, so it would become a very late decision date.
I would suggest looking at transferring into UGA for Spring of the following year after you meet the requirements.
Hi, when do accepted early action applicants find out if they have qualified for any scholarships?
ReplyDeleteScholarships are offered from just after EA decisions are released until mid April.
DeleteI'm looking to transfer for the fall 2013 semester, but seeing as I am only a freshman, I won't have 30 credit hours by April 1. I'll have it by the end of the spring semester. Is there anything that can be done to still attend in the fall in my case, or am I forced to wait until Spring of 2014? I hope there is some option!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it looks like you will need to wait until Spring, and I have a detailed explanation of the reasons for our transfer deadlines a few comments up.
DeleteI am applying as a freshman by using the RD application and this requires a school evaluation form completed by the HS counselor. At my school, the senior counselor doesn't know much about the students so how would this affect the admission process?
ReplyDeleteBoth EA and RD require the school evaluation, and at times the counselor will not know a great deal about some students. We will not hold this against the applicant, and the counselor can at least share more about your academic situation, the rigor of your curriculum as compared to what the school offers, etc.
DeleteWhen should we find out our decisions for regular decision if we apply before the January deadline? I will have everything in by next 12/3.
ReplyDeleteThis post on Timelines (http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/p/timelines.html ) will let you know when decisions should be released for First Year applicants.
DeleteGood day~ About junior transfer, if I have applied as a junior transfer applicants and the college refused to transfer some of the courses I have done and as a result, I have less than enough credits which leave me to sophomore standing. Does this mean my application will be revoked as I failed to meet the minimum 60 semester hours requirement? Will I be considered for sophomore if I applied for junior level? Because the application guidelines asked me to select the level I wish to apply and they will decide for me. So, will my application be revoked if I have not enough credit hours or is it that I may be considered to be admitted as sophomore? Thanks a lot for your attention.
ReplyDeleteTransfer applicants are reviewed based on how many completed transferable credit hours you have by the application deadline. With 30 to 59 semester hours, you will need at least a 3.20 GPA. With 60+ semester hours the GPA requirement is 2.80.
DeleteI understand that part but I am kinda confused about my transfer level. If I applied as a junior candidate and the courses are less than 60 after evaluation,if admitted, I will still enter as a junior student retaking the courses that cant be transferred in the 2 years time OR is that my application will be passed to a lower sophomore level to be considered entering as sophomore, to take major related courses at 3 years time?
DeleteAND, if I am admitted as a junior applicant with less than 60 credit hours, I will be given normal junior 2 years OR sophomore 3 years time to complete the remaining required courses?? Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
When we review your application as a transfer applicant, we are looking at the number of hours you have completed by the application deadline and the GPA for those hours. Your class standing (as far as junior vs. sophomore) as a student at UGA will be determined by how many transferable hours you have completed by the time you enroll. Your academic advisor will be able to help you with this and with class registration at Orientation.
DeleteIf I want to apply by the December 15th deadline, to be considered for scholarships,what material must be sent in by then? Just my online application?
ReplyDeleteAny Regular Decision applicant who wishes to be considered for a merit scholarship other than the Foundation Fellowship or Bernard Ramsey Honors Scholarship should submit a completed application by this date.
DeleteI tried to submit my app tonight to meet the Dec. 15 deadline for scholarships, but was not able to pay by a credit card until 7am tomorrow. If I submitted my app but did not pay yet, am I still eligible for priority consideration for scholarships?
ReplyDeleteAll deadlines are postmark deadlines. Because the 15th was a Saturday, the priority deadline will be today, December 17.
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWhen will decisions go out for Fall 2013 tranfer students?
ReplyDeletetransfer*
DeleteThis previous post on Timelines will let you know when decisions are typically released, http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/p/timelines.html .
DeleteI have sent my transcript twice to UGA from GAcollege411 but it is not appearing as received on the MyStatus page so I was wondering how long does it take for the transcript to be processed and received? I have sent the first one about a week ago and the second one 3 days ago. I understand that a small percentage of HS transcripts don't get processed from GAcollege 411 so should I send it for a third time?
ReplyDeleteWe generally suggest you give us 8-10 business days to match up documents, and I would guess you have given us 5 if you sent the transcript a week ago. I would first suggest you look at your copy of your GA411 transcript and see if your SSN matches the one you gave us. If not, email admproc and let us know to search for it by name. As well remember that our last day in the office is Monday, so you might not see the transcript show up on myStatus until January. As well, remember that we do not have anyone in the office on the weekends.
DeleteHello Mr. Graves.
ReplyDeleteI applied to UGA as a transfer student for the fall of 2013 recently. I currently have 35 credit hours and have a composite GPA of a 3.51. I was an undecided major when I first started college and declared my major two semesters ago. I realized that one of the classes that I took before I declared my major was not required for my current major, but I still have the credit for it. Will this have an affect in my transfer decision? I am still in good academic standing and my GPA is very good. Please let me know. Thank you.
We are not looking for specific courses for transfer students. For transfer admission, we are looking at your total transferable credit hours and the GPA for those hours.
DeleteHello. I am the same person with the 35 credit hours. So, if all of my credits are transferrable, and my GPA is a 3.5, do I have a high chance of acceptance just by looking at my GPA?
DeleteWhile generally a student who meets our transfer admission consideration levels will most likely be admitted, we do not guarantee or automatically admit a student just because they meet these levels. There may be an issue with the student (conduct, academic problem or red flag, etc.), or there may be a change at UGA (a change in how many students we can enroll, budget issues, etc.). Again, transfer students are likely to be admitted if they meet the consideration levels (by our method of review and GPA calculation), but we do not want to make any promises in this type of situation.
DeleteWill the February ACT be accepted if one sent its scores?
ReplyDeleteI am curious to know since it is only a few days after the end of January.
We can accept January test dates for Regular Decision as long as you designate UGA as an automatic recipient when you register for the exam. The February ACT will be too late for Regular Decision.
DeleteIf I sent in my transcript without my mid year grades in, would I still be an applicant for admission? My school ends their mid term grading about seven days before the admission deadline and I'm afraid it will not get to the admission office on time.
ReplyDeleteFirst semester senior grades are not required, but we would like to see them if possible. You can send in an updated transcript as soon as it is available. Our deadlines are postmark deadlines, it does not have to be received by the deadline.
DeleteHow can I find out whether my transcript or SAT score has been sent to the school or not?
ReplyDeleteYou will need to check with your school to see if your transcript has been sent and College Board to see if your SAT has been sent. Your myStatus will show you everything that we have received.
Delete"There may be an issue with the student (conduct, academic problem or red flag, etc.)" I read your reply to another person's question. What exactly do you mean by this? Can you explain a little bit more?
ReplyDeleteThis could include a disciplinary action including suspension or expulsion for scholastic or any other type of misconduct at any high school, college, or univeristy. It could also include being charged with, convicted of, or pleading guilty to a crime other than a minor traffic offense.
DeleteMr. Graves, I am looking at the transfer equivalency, and I am not sure how one of my math classes are going to transfer. I will show you how it looks like:
ReplyDeleteMath 1111 (Georgia Gwinnett College)----> Math1A** (UGA)
This would be a 1000 level math course that satisfies area A. You can read more about results from the transfer equivalency search here, https://www.admissions.uga.edu/transferequiv.html .
DeleteTherefore, it will still transfer right?
DeleteNon-transferable courses will show up as, "NTFR0T**" on the equivalency search.
DeleteAm I able to send in my transcript before I turn in my application?
ReplyDeleteWe recommend applying to UGA prior to sending supplemental material as your admissions file is not started until you have applied.
DeleteWill GPA be calculated differently for students entering UGA from a different college/university? The college I am at right now does not calculate GPA with +/- while UGA does. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWe do not use +/- when calculating your transferable GPA.
DeleteMr.Graves, Can my counselor and teacher turn in their recommendation forms in before I turn in my application? When are the deadlines for the recommendation forms? Do my teacher and counselor recommendation forms have to get to the school by the deadline? Would it be okay if my teacher and counselor turn in their recommendations before the deadline but doesn't get to the school by the deadline?
ReplyDeleteAll of our deadlines are postmark deadlines. We will leave the online counselor and teacher forms open for at least a week following the application deadline. We recommend applying prior to submitting supplemental material, however you can have material submitted for you prior to submitting your application.
DeleteWhen it says it takes certain business days, does that include weekends too? What if I turn in my application and counselor/teacher recommendations before the deadline but it doesn't get to the school by the deadline?
ReplyDeleteBusiness days do not include weekends, only days that our office is open. The application deadline is a postmark deadline.
DeleteIs it okay to turn send my transcript and SAT Scores before I send in my application like a day before?
ReplyDeleteSAT/ACT scores are automatically matched with your application by your SS, name and date of birth. We generally recommend that all other material be submitted after you have applied to UGA because it will get matched with your file more quickly. However, if you would like to send it prior to applying, that will be fine.
DeleteIs it true that counselors and teachers have a week after the deadline to turn in their recommendations?
ReplyDeleteWe will leave the online counselor and teacher forms open for at least a week following the deadline.
DeleteHello I am looking at the transfer equivalency page and I see that Math 1113 is shown up twice:
ReplyDelete-Math 1113 Math 1113
-Math 1113 Math1A**
*Above is how the equivalency looks. Why is it like this, and which one is which? confused..
I already turn in my transcript but can I turn in another transcript with the grades from the first semester of my senior year? Would consider my senior grades for admission?
ReplyDeleteYou can send in an updated transcript and it will be added to your file. If the updated transcript arrives in time, it will be considered with your file.
DeleteWhen starting the transfer application, on one of the blogs, Mr Graves, you stated that if someone applied as a freshman, they should email adm-tech@uga.edu & request that their prior info be cleared & then start the transfer applic. Is that the preferable method, rather than just logging into the original freshman applic & changing it to a transfer applicant (with the basic info still intact)?
ReplyDeleteI believe that suggestion was for a different set of circumstances. If you applied as a First Year student and are now trying to transfer, it has likely been several semesters since you applied. You should be able to go in and start a new Transfer application. If you have any trouble in doing so, there will be a help link on the website.
DeleteI submitted my high school transcript through the GACollege411 website and they sent me an email stating that UGA has received my transcript. However, on MyStatus it says that they still haven't received it. I am a little concerned about it :/
ReplyDeleteHow long ago did you submit your transcript? It can take 5 to 10 business days for us to be able to match it with your file.
DeleteI requested my transcripts to be sent last Wednesday in order to make the January 15th deadline. However, until report cards come out, my school said transcripts will be unavailable. Would it still be alright if I my transcript didn't get submitted until the end of the month, or is that too late after the deadline?
ReplyDeleteTranscripts need to be submitted/mailed to UGA by the application deadline.
DeleteWill reviewing transfer admissions start soon? oh and for the students who applied earlier know their status sooner than those who applied later? just curious. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis previous post on Timelines will let you know when we generally begin to review Transfer files, http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/p/timelines.html . We review files in the order in which they are completed.
DeleteI was deferred early action and sent in the second part of the application on Jan 12. I also sent my letter of recommendation via mail on Jan 8. Both of these were sent before the deadline of Jan 15. I'm concerned that they won't be received until after the 15th. Will UGA admission services still view and consider my application even though it was received post deadline, but sent on time. Is it just a postmark deadline?
ReplyDeleteItems do not need to be received by the deadline. Material should be submitted or mailed by the deadline.
DeleteWill you accept SAT scores that has been sent like four days before the deadline? When I checked to see if my SAT Score has been sent yet, it says it has been sent on January 11, 2013. Since it was sent, will the school receive my SAT Score by the deadline?
ReplyDeleteItems need to be postmarked or submitted by the deadline. This will be fine.
DeleteHi - we went to the College Board website and requested our son's SAT scores be sent electronically, but the site said it would take 1 - 2 weeks for the scores to go through. Since we requested the scores on the 14th, will he still be considered for the Fall 2013 semester if the scores don't show up by the deadline of the 15th (all other application elements have been submitted)? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteItems do not need to be received by the deadline. Material should be submitted or mailed by the deadline.
DeleteAre there any options at all for those who can't meet the deadline?
ReplyDeleteWe are leaving the First Year application open for a short time this morning so that individuals who were unable to pay online last night or had any trouble will be able to complete and submit this morning. Once the application is closed we will no longer accept First Year applications for summer/fall 2013.
DeleteI want to enter the Terry college. I saw that there are requirement test and essay. If I transter on fall 13, could I be acceptted? In this case, what is a usual process?
ReplyDeleteWe do not handle the admissions process for individual colleges. You would need to contact Terry for information regarding their application process. Please note you must be admitted to UGA first before you can apply to Terry.
DeleteI've submitted all of my materials and items, however neither my application waiver nor school evaluation have been checked off. Will my application still be processed for the Fall semester?
ReplyDeleteItems should be postmarked by the application deadline, they do not have to be received by the deadline. Additionally it takes about 5 to 10 business days for us to match a document with a file once we receive it.
DeleteHow long after the 15th will teacher recommendations and counselor recommendations be open for submission?
ReplyDeleteWe do not have an exact date for when we will stop accepting teacher and counselor forms, however we are continuing through this week at least. I would recommend submitting any missing material as soon as possible.
DeleteWho can I talk to to see which of my courses from University of Illinois will get transferred to UGA accurately? I'd like to see where I am and how much I need before I can start a transfer application (I'm technically supposed to be a third year at U of I, but I am taking a year break at the moment).
ReplyDeleteYou can check your course transferability on our transfer equivalency search here, https://www.admissions.uga.edu/transferequiv.html . We also have a transfer information session every Tuesday and Friday at 12:00PM.
DeleteHi, I'm currently a Kennesaw State University freshman and I'm trying to transfer into UGA for the summer semester. I realize that the deadline is March 1st but I haven't been able to find a transfer application anywhere. When I got on my UGA mystauts it only had the freshman application on and it was closed. Does this mean the transfer application isn't up yet and if so do you know when it will become available?
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you know whether I will have a high chance of being accepted? I have 30 credit hours and got a 4.0 last semester.
Thank you!
You should be able to start a transfer application from your myStatus. If you are not able to do so, please email adm-tech@uga.edu .
DeleteWe are not able to predict a student's chances of being admitted. While generally a student who meets our transfer admission consideration levels will most likely be admitted, we do not guarantee or automatically admit a student just because they meet these levels. A student must have 30 transferable hours by the application deadline with a 3.20GPA or 60+ hours by the deadline with a 2.80GPA
Hello, I would like to know if we can make changes on mistakes on your application even though you already submitted it and and it has past the due date?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can email your changes/updates to admproc@uga.edu .
DeleteI would like to know if I can make changes on my application essay?
ReplyDeletelike on a small mistake
DeleteYou can email changes/updates to admproc@uga.edu .
DeleteDo make a request to changes or do I have to actually email them the page with my changes on the application?
DeleteInclude the changes/updates in the email and that will be added to your file.
DeleteI am considering applying as a transfer, however, I'm skeptical because I have 45 hours with a 3.15 and I know the GPA requirement is a 3.2. I'm so close, yet so far away! Should I apply or just wait until I get 60 hours?
ReplyDeleteWith 30 to 59 transferable hours by the application deadline, you would need at least a 3.20GPA to be admissible.
DeleteSo I shouldn't apply?
DeleteIf you do not meet the minimum requirements, I would not apply.
DeleteWhen should FAFSA be submitted by for undergraduates for 2013-2014?
ReplyDeleteYou will need to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid regarding the FAFSA.
DeleteI am currently at 29 credit hours and a 4.0 GPA on those credit hours by April 1st. Is there any chance that I am considered for Fall semester? Another question, If I am not even considered, is there a way to get that one last hour through UGA online somehow? (my current school does not have a class that ends by deadline)
ReplyDeleteApplicants must have 30 completed hours by the application deadline to be eligible to transfer. You are not able to take courses at UGA until you have been admitted.
Deletewhen do ea students find out about financial aid? Oasis shows info from years ago.
ReplyDeleteYou will need to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid for information regarding financial aid.
DeleteAs a sophomore student with a 3.15 GPA, do I have any chance of being considered for transferring for Fall 2013? Thank you for your assistance.
ReplyDeleteIf you have 30 to 59 transferable hours, you will need at least a 3.20 GPA.
DeleteIf I applied for a transfer application for Fall 2013, and I actually wanted to start taking summer classes is it too late to reapply for summer?
ReplyDeleteAs long as you do not have a decision and it is before the application deadline, you may email a request to change to summer to admproc@uga.edu .
DeleteIf I do so, what are my chances of getting in since it's so close to the deadline? Would I be better off just waiting to hear from Fall since I applied earlier and have all my application/transcripts completed. If I changed to summer and did not get in then I would not be able to have a chance to get in for Fall admission would I?
DeleteAs long as you don't have a decision, we should be able to update you to summer. Most students are not going to have additional coursework completed between the summer and fall deadline (March 1 and April 1), so if you would not be admitted for summer you would likely not be admitted for fall either.
DeleteOk so my concern of getting admitted was space availability because since you review the files based on when they were complete. Lets say that you can only have 500 applicants admitted for summer and I did meet the requirements but there wasn't enough room would I be able to then be placed for fall? As in when I transferred to my current school I applied closer to the Fall deadline so they didn't give me acceptance for Spring because they said they had no more room for Fall. Is that how it works for UGA?
ReplyDeleteI cannot make any promises, however we have only had an issue with space once in 30 years so this would not likely be an issue for you.
DeleteWhen do you find out if you have been accepted into UGA?
ReplyDeleteIf you are a transfer applicant, please see the most recent post on transfer updates. First Year decisions will be available by April 1.
DeleteI am transferring from Georgia State University, will the transcript show all of my ap credits?
ReplyDeleteWe cannot tell you what your GSU transcript will show. You would need to speak with someone in the Registrar's Office at your college.
DeleteI will have 30 credit hours by the end of my school year. I am currently at 19 and have 15 in progress. My transcript shows this and they will be completed. Does this mean I won't get in due to my in progress hours?
ReplyDeleteTransfer applicants must have a minimum of 30 transferable credit hours completed by the application deadline with at least a 3.20GPA to be eligible to transfer.
DeleteI wish to apply as a transfer for spring 2014. Do you know when the spring application will be available for me to apply?
ReplyDeleteThis blog post on Timelines will let you know when applications are typically available, http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/p/timelines.html .
DeleteI'm currently attending Georgia Highlands College and I'm looking to transfer to UGA. I'll be applying for the Spring 2013 semester. I will have over 30 credit hours by the Sept. 1st deadline and I currently have a 3.5 GPA. I'm just wondering if my age will hurt my chances of being admitted and the fact that I'm attending a community college? I'll be 24 by Sept. 1st, would that make me a non-traditional student? I joined the Army out of high school and returned from Afghanistan in 2012. Will my service be factored into my admissions decision? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteoops meant to say Spring 2014.
DeleteTransfer admission is based on the number of transferable hours you have completed by the application deadline and the GPA for those hours. Transfer applicants must have at least 30 completed transferable hours by the application deadline with at least a 3.20GPA. Age, amount time since you graduated high school, etc, would not affect a transfer decision.
DeleteThank you, but does my military service help me? What about making the Dean's list? Thank you!
DeleteTransfer admission is based on total number of transferable hours and GPA only.
DeleteWhen is the earliest I can apply for a spring 2014 transfer? I tried completing the application two days ago but I could only select the summer semester as a transfer. I want to register as early as possible and then have my transcript sent when I finish this semester.
DeleteThis post on Timelines will let you know when applications are typically available, http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/p/timelines.html .
DeleteHi! I'm interested in applying to transfer for the Spring 2014 since i won't have enough credit hours until mid-summer to be eligible and i was wondering if i take online courses to not get behind during the Fall of 2013 at the university i'm already at (Clayton State University) if those credits will also transfer when i'm through with them?
ReplyDeleteWe are fine with traditional or online courses, and you can take whatever courses you would like during the Fall term at CSU without issue. While we cannot use the Fall work for transfer admission review, if you are admitted, we can get a transcript in December and we will post the credit to your file with the additional Fall work.
DeleteHey there,
ReplyDeleteI used to be a student at UGA back in 2009/2010, but I haven't attended since my spring of 2010.
Would I apply for "Readmission" and use the "Former Application"?
Also, whenever I pay for the application cost and submit it to the UGA Admissions department, how long will it take before I am able to receive a response saying that I'm admitted (or not admitted)?
And is there a deadline for sending in a Former Student application if I want to get admitted for Fall 2013?
Thanks
If you were a former undergrad student at UGA, you would use the former application. I cannot guess about a timeframe, as I do not know your overall situation, if there are any flags on your file (library fine not paid, etc.), and because the Registrar's Office handles the former applications. There is a deadline, and you can see it on the intro page(s) of the former application.
DeleteI'm currently serving in the military. I have 64 credits from an accredited university with a 3.6 gpa. I'm looking to apply as a transfer student to UGA. I want to pursue a business degree. What are the chances of being an internal transfer should I get aadmitted to UGA?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what you mean by internal transfer. Transfer admission is based on the number of transferable hours your have completed by the deadline and your GPA. With 60+ transferable hours, the GPA requirement is a 2.80 . Students are not eligible to apply to Terry College of Business until they have started taking classes at the University. For additional information about applying to the Business school, you would need to contact Terry College of Business directly.
