Apply for Admission
At Georgia Southern, ready isn’t a buzzword, it’s a way of life. It means you get the academics, but you also get the practice. Because Ready is what we do. Ready to see what’s next?
First-year students applying to Georgia Southern University through the summer 2026 semester can be admitted without an ACT or SAT score, if they have a GPA of 3.2 or higher.* Students who have a GPA of less than 3.2 should submit official ACT or SAT scores along with their high school transcript to be considered for admission. All students must be on track to complete the Required High School Curriculum to be admitted. Learn more on the Freshman Requirements Page.
*Georgia Southern calculates your high school GPA for admission based on 17 required high school courses.
The University System of Georgia authorized this change.
