The Graduate Admission's Office uses the Georgia Board of Regent's standards for GPA calculations to determine an overall undergraduate and/or graduate GPA based on all work attempted in which letter grades were awarded.  Meeting minimum GPA requirements is not an automatic indication of acceptance into the program.

The Graduate School at Augusta University participates in the Council of Graduate Schools’ (CGS) “Resolution Regarding Graduate Scholars, Fellows, Trainees and Assistantships” also known as the “April 15 Resolution.” Participation in the resolution allows admitted graduate students to consider offers of financial support through April 15 for the fall entry term. Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial support prior to April 15 for the fall entry term. The full text of the CGS resolution and list of participating member institutions can be found on the CGS website.

Requests to defer your application and application materials (before an admission decision has been made) to a later semester than the one for which you originally applied, can be made using the Application Deferral Request Form located in your applicant portal. Please include a brief rationale for requesting a deferral of your application/application materials and indicate your preferred new entry term.  Deferrals are not automatic and require formal, official approval from the program. Applications deferred to another semester are subject to all admission requirements and program requirements in effect for the semester to which they are deferred. 

Applicants will be notified of the decision via notification to their applicant portal and must accept or decline their offer of deferral (or will be withdrawn and required to submit a new application to be considered for a future term).   For deferrals to a new term, updated transcripts are required (if applicable) and applicants are subject to meeting any changes in admission criteria to the new term.  The programs also reserve the right to request updated documents (e.g. references, CV, personal statement etc.)

Congratulations on your acceptance!  Upon acceptance, your decision letter and acceptance agreement form will located in your applicant portal. To OFFICIALLY ACCEPT your offer of admission, please:

1. Please complete and submit the acceptance agreement form to indicate your intent to enroll.
2. Pay the acceptance deposit (if required by your program).

To meet the conditions of your acceptance, carefully review and follow instructions provided in your acceptance agreement form and applicant portal.  These will vary by program.  Please pay close attention to deadlines including those for submitting official transcripts (for applicants that applied with unofficial transcripts), and for completing a Criminal Background Check for applicants to programs requiring a Criminal Background check to complete the acceptance process.  

An offer of admission is made for enrollment in a specific academic term. In some cases, with formal, official approval from the program to which you were admitted, admission may be deferred to a later semester, but no later than one year after the semester for which the offer of admission is made. Requests for deferrals of admission can be requested using the Application Deferral Request Form located in their applicant portal.  Please include a brief rationale for requesting a deferral of your admissions and indicate your preferred new entry term.   Admission deferrals are not automatic and require formal, official approval from the program.

Applicants will be notified of the decision via notification to their applicant portal.   Applicants who do not accept offers of admission (and/or are not approved for a deferral to a new term) will be withdrawn and must submit a new application and supporting materials if they would like to be considered for admission at a later entry term.
