REGISTER FOR CLASSES

In order to register, our students must first set up an advisement appointment with our Director. In the advisement session, Director Meares will go over course availability by term to ensure you register for the best courses/course schedule to meet your preferred graduation deadline. After the advisement session you will be approved for all the courses you wish to register for. 

At Augusta University, all of our graduate courses are restricted to graduate students only without special permission; so for each course you wish to take our office or Director Meares will have to input your approval for the course.

To set up your appointment with Dr. Meares, call our office at 706-737-1710 or you can email our director!
