Next Steps for Accepted Students
Getting Connected
GoSOLAR will connect you to life at
Incept Student Orientation
You’ll receive your packet of information about our orientation program, Incept. Choose a date to attend and send back the response card or sign up online. During Incept you will meet with academic advisors to plan your schedule and register for classes, socialize with current and new students, and learn your way around campus. Orientation for international students is provided by International Student and Scholar Services.
If you are unable to attend orientation, contact the Student Advisement Center at (404) 413-2300 to sign up for advisement sessions offered for new students.
Transfer Student Online Preorientation
After receiving acceptance, a 20-minute online preorientation is required before transfer students can register for classes. If you have a documented disability and are having difficulties with accessing or completing the online pre-orientation requirement please contact your advisement office.
Financial Aid
Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid online. If you have already applied for financial aid, you can check your status with GoSOLAR. If you still have questions, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at (404) 413-2400 or visit in person at 102 Sparks Hall.
Housing Options
If you are interested in living on campus, you should apply for housing via GoSOLAR after being accepted. We can also help you locate off-campus housing.
Parking and Transportation
Students have three transportation options: discounted MARTA TransCards, shuttle service, and on-campus parking. All parking requires that a vehicle be preregistered and display a valid parking permit. Vehicle registration can only be done online through GoSOLAR. Complete and current information can be found online or by calling the Auxiliary Services Office at (404) 413-9500.
Make the Proper Immunization Arrangements
The immunization form must be turned in prior to registering for classes. You may receive the vaccines from your local health department, private physician or Georgia State University Health Services. There is a fee at all locations for the vaccines. For more information, visit the University Health Services web site.
Submit Final Transcript
Upon graduation, have your high school send us a final transcript so that we can complete your admissions file.
