Your application for financial aid can also verify your citizenship.
(Georgia State’s FAFSA Code is 001574)
This application will determine if you’re eligible for all federal and state aid programs. You’re encouraged to submit a FAFSA, even if you think you’re not eligible for federal aid programs, because this application will review your eligibility for the HOPE Scholarship and other financial aid opportunities. You must have a FSA ID to complete this application.
Complete the Intent to Enroll form so we know you’re coming. No payment is necessary to complete your Intent to Enroll form. You must view your acceptance letter in the Status Update tab before you’ll have access to complete the Intent to Enroll form.
The housing application is available in late January. Housing priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.
You must provide verification of lawful presence in the United States to receive in-state tuition. Follow the specific steps outlined.
Our Start @ State modules are an efficient, virtual introduction to life at Georgia State. Once you complete Start @ State, you’ll be prompted to register for a New Student Orientation session.
Remember: All first-year students are required to attend orientation. You’ll meet with an adviser, make your schedule and connect with fellow Panthers.
At New Student Orientation, you’ll:
Log in to PAWS with your CampusID. Under the New Students menu, you’ll see a tab for Placement Tests that will take you to a registration form. You’ll be required to obtain your PantherCard and present it at the time of your test. Please note, academic departments may have separate testing requirements for your major. Please review this information and contact the department directly if you have any questions.
Complete these steps as soon as possible after you’ve been accepted to Georgia State so you’ll be ready for the first day of classes.
Submit Immunizations. Visit the Immunizations page for information on how to submit your immunization records to our Student Health Center. Avoid registration delays by submitting your records as soon as possible.
If you’ll be living in University Housing, you must also obtain the Meningitis vaccine or sign an optional waiver from University Health Services and include it with your housing application.
Review your financial aid package in PAWS under the Financial Aid tab. You must accept/deny aid as needed. Check the remaining balance due and pay your bill by the deadline.
