Admission Procedures

Admission to Middle Georgia State University requires the Office of Admissions to know as much as possible about the academic ability and conduct of its applicants. Acceptance is based on previous academic performance, test scores, conduct, and, when appropriate, results of personal interviews and other information deemed necessary to determine the applicant's general fitness for admission to an institution of higher learning. Only after such information is obtained can the University make an admissions decision in the best interest of both the applicant and the University. Middle Georgia State University reserves the right to refuse admission to an applicant based on the results of such appraisal. The admission procedures outlined below should be followed in order to furnish the Office of Admissions with a complete set of relevant information.

Prospective students should:

  1. Complete the online application through either GaFutures or at www.mga.edu/admissions. A $30 nonrefundable application fee is required and can be paid online with a credit card.
  2. Have an official transcript mailed by the high school directly to the Office of Admissions if entering directly from high school.
  3. Have an official transcript of GED test scores mailed by the State Department of Education directly to the Office of Admissions if entering on the basis of a GED "High School Equivalency Diploma."
