 Review Technical Standards

To qualify for enrollment, retention and graduation from academic programs in The Graduate School, an individual must satisfy certain technical standards. Acknowledgement of an understanding of these standards must be completed in your applicant portal.

 Submit Additional Documents

Students requesting to pay the in-state tuition rate must provide verification of lawful presence to be classified as an in-state student or awarded an out-of-state tuition waiver. Contact Graduate Admissions Operations for information on additional documentation requirements. 

 International Students

For questions related to international student application and admissions, contact Graduate Admissions Support. If you are an international student, once you have accepted the offer of admission and paid your required deposit (if applicable), you will receive an email from the International and Postdoctoral Services Office (ipso@augusta.edu) with instructions for accessing AU International to provide information and upload required documents. 

 

Complete Criminal Background Check

 Complete Background Check & Drug Screen (if required)

Per the Augusta University Applicant Criminal Background Check Policy, final admission and enrollment for some TGS programs are conditional on the completion of a criminal background check and drug screen with results deemed acceptable to the applicable college/program’s professional standards. Please review your program’s admission criteria page to confirm if this applies to you. If a background check is required, note that the deadline varies by program and is typically 3–4 weeks prior to the start date.

Failure to complete the required background check by the deadline, provide information necessary to conduct the background check, or provide false or misleading information, may disqualify applicants from final admission and matriculation into the program and university. 

Instructions for completing criminal background checks will be provided to applicants upon acceptance into these programs.
