Requirements

Register for the ACCUPLACER exam through the Georgia State Testing Center.
Why is the ACCUPLACER examination used?
What if I do not feel confident starting college-level coursework just yet?
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.

Once the two additional terms of entry have passed, the application and application fee is no longer valid.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

- Be eligible to return to their home institution
- Have permission from their home institution to attend Georgia State as stated in an official transient/permission letter
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.
