Registration for admissions to undergrad and graduate classes at Georgia State University

The GSU-62 Program at Georgia State University enables Georgia residents who are 62 or older to resume, continue or even begin their college education at a substantially reduced cost. This program is part of a statewide effort on behalf of older persons as directed by Amendment 23 to the Georgia constitution, and approved by the Regents of the University System of Georgia. The program is designed to allow eligible applicants to register for college-level  courses for credit or audit (same requirements as for credit), on a space available basis subject to certain regulations.

The GSU-62 waiver can include graduate studies with the exception of the College of Law. Contact the appropriate graduate office for application information and deadlines. To be eligible to enroll in graduate courses (those numbered 5000 and higher), GSU-62 students must be admitted to the appropriate graduate course of study.  For more detailed information on GSU-62 please contact Judith Carson at admjac@langate.gsu.edu or at 404-413-2044.
