Student Resources
Graduate Students:
Contact the Graduate Records Office (706) 542-4806, 550 Boyd Graduate Studies.
Remember: It is the student's responsibility to register for courses which are applicable to his/her degree program and to have official transcripts sent to the UGA Admissions Office.
What should I know about attending an In-State College?
The UGA Admissions Office has developed a "Tranfer Equivalency Search System" for Georgia Colleges.
Many of the courses which are commonly taken are listed. As you review the information, you will see the UGA course and course number and the equivalent course/course number at the other institution.
If you plan to attend an in-state college and you plan to take one or more of the courses listed, you can be assured that the course(s) will be evaluated as shown.
You may wish to look at the Georgia colleges/universities webpages or contact them for more information.
What should I know about attending an Out-of-State College?
If you wish to attend a college outside of Georgia, you will be responsible for reviewing the college catalogue of the school you plan to attend and determining if the course seems as if it will be equivalent to a UGA course. Evaluators in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions can assist you as you choose courses from an out-of-state institution. However, the courses will not be officially evaluated until you return to UGA.
Will an Academic Advisor/Graduation Specialist be able to assist me?
Whether you plan to attend a college in-state or out-of-state, your Academic Advisor/Graduation Specialist will only be able to assist you in selecting UGA courses appropriate for your degree and major. The Academic Advisor/Graduation Specialist cannot advise you in the selection or in the transferability of courses not listed on the equivalency sheets.
If you select a course that is not listed on an equivalency website, you will be responsible for reviewing the college catalogue of the school you plan to attend and determining if the course description seems as if it will be equivalent to a UGA course. If you plan to take a course in your "major" area of study at another institution, you should check with your major department. Some departments will not allow transfer courses to be used in the major.
The Admissions Office does not evaluate transient work until after the course(s) are transferred to the University of Georgia; therefore an Academic Advisor/Graduation Specialist cannot be responsible for determining equivalency.
Will my H.O.P.E. scholarship cover my summer classes?
UGA HOPE students who wish to enroll as a transient student at another HOPE eligible institution may receive HOPE funds at the transient institution. You can access the UGA HOPE Transient Form at www.uga.edu/osfa/forms.html and follow the instructions.
If you plan to take a course not listed on the equivalency website, you should keep the following items for documentation purposes:
1. Course description
2. Syllabus of the course
3. Course Work (tests, essays, etc.)
4. Title of textbook, author, publisher, copyright date
If the UGA Admissions Office has any question about courses taken elsewhere, the above information could prove to be very valuable.
Transient Student Information
What are the procedures for a UGA student to attend another institution as a transient student?
Undergraduate Students:
- Check with the institution you plan to attend to determine what you need to submit and if you need to apply for admission.
- If you need a transient letter, submit a request through OASIS in the Request Transcript/Letter of Certification option of the Student Records Main Menu. You may also request a transient letter by visiting the Office of the Registrar at 102 Holmes-Hunter Academic Building.
- Secure a course equivalency sheet available on the Admissions Office website or in your dean's office to check UGA course equivalents at Georgia institutions. If you need to research other courses or institutions, a collection of college catalogs is available in the Main Library.
- Near the end of the term at the other institution, request that a transcript of your completed course work be sent to the UGA Undergraduate Admissions Office as soon as your grades are posted so that the courses may be evaluated and posted to your UGA academic record.
