Complete your application online. You will be prompted to create a GAfutures account if you do not already have one. Students can check their status online while working through the application process.
Request official transcripts be sent from every college or technical school you have attended. If you completed any college coursework outside of the US, you must submit your official transcripts to a NACES-accredited evaluation service and have an original course-by-course evaluation sent directly to GSW.
If you have less than 30 transferable credit hours from your college(s), you must meet all freshman requirements. We encourage you to send all scores from all tests taken using SAT Code: 5250 and/or ACT code: 0824. Application decisions are made based on the highest scores received.
