We’re happy to have you as an Eagle! Please be sure to take care of the following as soon as possible. Completing everything listed below will make your transition into college much smoother. Please note that not all items may pertain to your situation.
SIGN UP FOR ON-CAMPUS HOUSING
Apply Early for Housing to receive the best options! After two to three days of your acceptance, you will be able to log into the Housing Application using your Eagle ID and date of birth. You will need to pay a $100 non-refundable application fee at the time of completing the application.
SIGN UP FOR SOUTHERN’S ORIENTATION, ADVISEMENT, AND REGISTRATION (SOAR)
SOAR is a mandatory orientation program for all new students. You will attend information sessions and register for classes. Please refer to the SOAR website to sign up and to get more information, including what to bring, what to expect, where to stay, etc. http://admissions.georgiasouthern.edu/orientation/
FILL OUT IMMUNIZATION FORMS
Print these forms from http://services.georgiasouthern.edu/health/ and have your health care provider fill out your immunization history. Please fax or mail the forms back to the Health Services office. Students who fail to turn in their immunization forms will be restricted from registering for classes during SOAR unless they sign a waiver stating their intent to fulfill this requirement.
Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
If you need financial aid, you will need to complete the FAFSA, found online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you ONLY want to be reviewed for HOPE, you should complete the GSFAPP application available at www.gacollege411.org.
SEND IN YOUR FINAL HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT (if applicable)
Request that your guidance counselor send us your final high school transcript. This will include all of your classes and grades from all four years of high school and will not be available until after you graduate. Please make sure it includes your graduation date as well.
PAY TUITION AND FEES
Please be aware that your MyGeorgiaSouthern* account will not be accessible until you register for classes at SOAR. After you sign up for SOAR and register for classes, your tuition and fees will be tallied by the Office of Student Fees. The bill will vary in amount, but will be based on the following:
• Number of credit hours you are registered to take during the semester
• Residence Hall costs
• Student Fees
• Meal Plan
• Financial Aid Award
Additional expenses not billed by Georgia Southern include: Food, Gas, Eagle Express, Off Campus rent and utilities, etc.
The bill can be accessed on WINGS (Web Interactive Network for Georgia Southern) and is due by the first day of classes. Anyone who fails to pay their tuition and fees by this time will have their classes cancelled.
*MyGeorgiaSouthern is a single sign on portal for students to register for classes, access your financial aid information and pay fees.
