Certificates

The academic catalog is your source for specific admission requirements and degree requirements for the program to which you are applying. Please be sure to check the catalog for details.

For your convenience, you can complete an application online for any of our certificate programs. Apply here.

Submit your application with the $25 undergraduate application fee or the $50 graduate application to avoid any processing delays.

Many programs require the submission of supplemental materials. The academic catalog lists supplemental materials required for each program.

Important

Transcripts must be sent directly from your previous school to GSU. If electronic transcripts are sent to you in error, return them to your previous school and request that they be sent directly to GSU. If your previous school sends you a paper version of your transcript, forward it to GSU unopened in the sealed envelope it came in.

Be sure to include:

Credentials Evaluation (If you have completed course work outside of the USA, a course by course credential evaluation, by a NACES member will be required.)

Please allow two weeks for evaluation and processing after the application transcript(s) and all required supplemental documents have been received. Some programs have application deadlines. If your program has an application deadline, the evaluation process may take longer than two weeks. You will be notified once a decision has been made.

After your application has been processed, you will receive a letter from the Office of Admission with your admission decision.
