Mr. Ryan Hogan, Director of Admissions
1413 North Patterson Street

The admission policy of Valdosta State University (VSU) is designed to admit those students whose academic backgrounds indicate a reasonable potential for success in the educational program of the University. Acceptance is based upon previous academic record, entrance examination scores, good conduct, and, when deemed necessary, results of personal interviews or other appropriate tests required to determine general fitness for admission to an institution of higher learning. VSU shall have the right to examine and appraise the character, personality, and qualifications of applicants. In order for this examination and appraisal to be made, applicants shall furnish to the institution such biographical and other information, including references, as may be required. VSU reserves the right to refuse admission to any individual, based on the results of such an appraisal. This policy is administered by the Director of Admissions, who makes the final decision as to an applicant’s acceptability, subject to the applicant’s right of appeal as provided by the bylaws of the University and of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Appeals must be made in writing to the Director of Admissions.

The University reserves the right to discontinue accepting admission applications when its enrollment limits have been reached. It reserves the right to reject the application of any individual who is not a legal resident of the State of Georgia. Furthermore, the University reserves the right not to accept the credits of any institution, notwithstanding its accredited status, if the University determines that the quality of instruction available at the institution is for any reason deficient or unsatisfactory.

Payment of fees for the processing of an admission application shall entitle the applicant to have his or her application form reviewed according to normal admissions procedures at the institution. Admission to the institution is not guaranteed by payment of an admissions application fee.

Please be aware that admission to the University does not guarantee admission to your intended major. Several programs of study have additional admission requirements. Information on admission to a particular degree program or major may be found in the appropriate section of this catalog or at the web site

How to File an Application

Applications for undergraduate admission are available online or by calling the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 229-333-5791. All completed forms must be either on file or postmarked at least 30 days prior to registration and must be accompanied by a nonrefundable, nontransferable $40 application fee to cover the expense of processing the application.

A “Certificate of Immunization, Report of Medical History and TB Risk Screening and Assessment forms” are required of all applicants seeking admission to courses that carry academic credit. The form is available online. Admission is not complete until the “Certificate of Immunization, Report of Medical History and TB Screening and Risk Assessment forms” have been made available to the University.

Applicants who do not enroll in the semester for which they are accepted must notify the Admissions Office if they wish to enter the University at a later time. 

Admission of Beginning Freshmen

Applicants must be a graduate of an accredited high school or of a high school that has been approved by the University and must have completed the minimum requirements of the State Department of Education for graduation and must complete the Required High School Curriculum (RHSC). The University System of Georgia requires that high school graduates complete the RHSC course work for entrance.

The College Entrance Examination Board’s Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the Assessment Battery of the American College Testing Program (ACT) is required of all applicants seeking admission from high school. Information pertinent to making application to take these tests may be obtained from the high school principal, the high school guidance counselor, or directly from the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT).

Evaluation of Freshmen

A freshman applicant’s potential for success in the educational program of the University is gauged on the basis of ACT or SAT scores, high school curriculum, and high school grade point average. After an application form, SAT or ACT scores, high school transcript, and other required records are received and are found to be complete and in order, the applicant’s credentials are evaluated. If the applicant’s credentials are satisfactory to the University and if the applicant is judged to be acceptable in all other aspects, a formal letter of acceptance is promptly issued.

Admission of Non-Traditional Students

A non-traditional student is defined as a student whose class graduated from high school at least five years ago or who has fewer than 30 semester hours of transferable college credit and has not been enrolled in a college within the past five years. To be eligible for admission under this policy, the student must have earned a high school diploma or a General Education Diploma (GED).

Non-traditional applicants are not required to submit SAT/ACT scores. These students will be required to take the Accuplacer Exam and achieve a passing score on the reading, math, and writing portions before admission can be granted. 

Admission of Transfer Students

A transfer student is defined as one who terminates enrollment at one institution and subsequently enrolls in another. Students who have been enrolled in other institutions are warned that they may not disregard their records at these institutions. Failure to report previous college attendance is considered to be sufficient cause for cancellation of the student’s registration and of any credits earned. Students who are enrolled in a Developmental Studies Program within the University System of Georgia are not eligible for transfer admission at Valdosta State University.

To transfer to Valdosta State University, you must: (1) request that the Registrar from each institution attended, regardless of length of attendance or amount of credit earned, send an official transcript to VSU’s Office of Admissions; and (2) request that your high school counselor send a copy of your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores if you have earned fewer than 30 semester hours of academic credit.

Admissions applications will be evaluated by one of the following categories:

  1. Students who have completed at least 30 semester hours of academic credit must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on all attempted work. If transferring from a University System of Georgia unit, students must have exited any Developmental Studies requirements and must have completed any College Preparatory deficiencies. Please note that classes taken to satisfy deficiencies are in addition to the minimum requirement of 30 semester hours.
  2. Students who graduated from high school within the last five years who have earned fewer than 30 semester hours of academic credit are considered Transfer Freshmen and must satisfy the regulations governing the admission of beginning freshmen and may be subject to those listed in category one above.
  3. Students who have been graduated from high school five years or more and have earned fewer than 30 semester hours of academic credit must submit a high school transcript or GED. These students may be required to satisfy requirements in category one above as well as freshman placement testing.
  4. Please be aware that admission to Valdosta State University does not guarantee admission to your intended major. For more information, click here. 

As a rule, students entering from institutions which are not members of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools or other regional associations of equal standing must take examinations on the work presented. However, students may be granted the same transfer credit as that accepted by the principal state university in the state in which the credit was earned. Necessary adjustments between students’ academic work done at another institution and the requirements for their major program at Valdosta State University shall be the responsibility of each student and the head of the department of the student’s major, subject to the approval of the dean or director of the appropriate College or Division.

Students will be permitted to transfer academic credits earned with grades of “D” at other accredited institutions and apply them toward degree requirements in the Core Curriculum or lower division if allowed for native students by the department. Credits with the grade of “D” earned in upper division work will be transferred, and the department of the student’s major will determine if those credits are acceptable toward a degree.

Academic credit allowed for work done in another institution within a given period of time may not exceed the normal amount of credit that could have been earned at this University during that time. Courses required at the senior college level should not be taken in junior colleges.

Applicants for advanced standing may not apply more than 90 semester hours of academic credits from other colleges toward a degree from Valdosta State University.

Admission of Second Degree Seeking Transfer Students

A second degree seeking student is defined as a student who has completed a bachelor’s degree at VSU or elsewhere and is looking to complete a second undergraduate degree. All transcripts from any undergraduate work must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. Admission will award 90 hours of block credit, which classifies the student as a senior. The 60 semester hours of core classes is considered complete; the student is required to take any prerequisites needed for the second degree and the major classes needed to complete the second degree. To meet graduation requirements, a minimum of 30 semester hours must be taken in residence at Valdosta State University, including a minimum of 21 hours of senior college work in the major. Students who transfer from a non-University System of Georgia school are required to meet the legislative requirements for US/GA History and US/GA Constitution (please refer to the VSU catalog for State of Georgia Legislative Requirements).

Admission of Transient Students

Transient admission is defined as admission for a limited period of time of students who are regularly enrolled in another institution and who ordinarily expect to return to that institution.

To be considered for transient admission to Valdosta State University, a student must be regularly enrolled in an accredited or approved institution and must have an academic record of satisfactory or superior quality.

Students in remedial studies, on scholastic probation, academic suspension, or disciplinary suspension may not be eligible for consideration.

Applicants for transient admission must supply the Director of Admissions a statement from the Registrar of the institution where they are regularly enrolled that clearly sets forth their current status and recommends their acceptance.

Since the primary obligation of Valdosta State University is to its regularly enrolled students, it will consider accepting students applying for transient admission only when their admission will cause no hardship or inconvenience to either the University or its regularly enrolled student body. In any case, transient admission will be granted for only one academic semester. Students desiring to continue in the University beyond that point must apply for admission as transfer students and comply with transfer regulations. Transcripts must be requested in writing and appropriate fees paid in order for copies of the academic record of transient students to be mailed to another institution.

Once they have been accepted, transient students complete the online Orientation. When they have completed Orientation, the Office of Admissions will assist them with registering for courses.

Readmission to the University

Former students who have not been in attendance within the last calendar year and were in good standing at the time of their withdrawal or students who have attended another institution must apply to  the Registrar for readmission. Upon readmission, students become subject to the current catalog to fulfill degree requirements. Students seeking readmission following an academic suspension must also apply to the Registrar.

Servicemember Policies

As a member of the Servicemembers Opportunity College Degree Network Systems (SOC DNS), Valdosta State University is committed to maintaining policies and procedures that recognize the special circumstances that face those in uniform. Those referenced specifically in the SOC DNS Membership Criteria include:

  • Readmission. The intent of the US Department of Education Readmission policy as it applies to Servicemembers is to ensure that they are not penalized academically or financially for active duty. VSU fully supports this policy. The specific details are available at the US Government Publishing Office's Electronic Code of Federal Regulations under Title 34 -- Subtitle B -- Chapter VI -- Part 668 -- Subpart B -- §668.18 (linked here).
  • Prior Learning Assessment. Servicemembers are afforded the same opportunity to earn college credits through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) as other students. Additional information may be found in the Prior Learning Assessment section of the catalog and at the PLA website.

  1. The student is currently living outside the United State and will require an F-1 visa to study in the U.S.
  2. The student is not a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident and is currently in the U.S. on an F-1 visa.
  3. The student is currently in the U.S. on another non-immigrant visa classification, which permits part-time or full-time study.

Steps to Apply as an International Student

    Students who are non-native speakers of English, who transfer from an institution of higher education outside the United States where English was not the language of the institution, are required to submit an English language proficiency exam score from one of the approved below along with their foreign credentials. The various tests are listed on our website at: https://www.valdosta.edu/admissions/undergraduate/student-information/international-students.php
  2. Transcripts. Submit official transcripts from high school and/or all college(s) attended. Only sealed, official academic records will be accepted. Please do not submit personal copies. If coursework was from outside the U.S., transcripts must be evaluated by a NACES member organization. Transfer students with less than 30 transferable semester hours or 45 quarter hours of college credit must also submit high school academic records.
  3. A completed Certificate of Finances statement guaranteeing that the student will have a minimum of $36,124 (for nine months) available for personal and educational expenses.

  4. VSU Certificate of Immunization Form (must be signed prior to registration)
  5. All international students must purchase the VSU medical insurance plan for students to cover the cost of medical treatment while in the U.S.
  6. A copy of the student's passport/visa must be e-mailed to the Office of Admissions (admissions@valdosta.edu).

The deadlines for receipt of international applications and all of the above required materials are April 1 for Fall Semester, August 1 for Spring Semester, and February 1 for Summer Semester. Once these materials are received, the Admissions Office will evaluate the international applicant’s credentials and make an admissions decision. The applicant will be notified of the University’s decision and, if admitted, will be issued an I-20 certificate of eligibility. This form must be taken to the nearest U.S. Embassy or consular office, which will issue a visa for entry to the United States. 

Verification of Lawful Presence

Per the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) policy, individuals who apply to VSU must submit documentation of US citizenship or permanent residency before being considered for in-state tuition.

*The following documents serve as proof of lawful presence in the United States. One of the following is required before you are eligible for in-state tuition:

  • Your completed FAFSA for the most recently available financial aid year. Lawful presence can be determined through this process. The Valdosta State University school code for the FAFSA is 001599.
  • A certified US birth certificate showing the applicant was born in the US or a US territory. Photocopies are not acceptable.
  • Copy of a current US passport.
  • Copy a driver’s license or state issued ID card issued by the state of Georgia or any of the USG approved states. Licenses/ID cards must be valid and meet USG requirements; limited-term are not acceptable.
  • Copy of a US certificate of naturalization.
  • Copy of a US certificate of citizenship.
  • A US certificate of birth abroad issued by the Department of State or a consular report of birth abroad.
  • A current, valid Permanent Resident Card (USCIS form I-151 or I-551).
  • Current ID issued by the State of Georgia
  • Current Military ID (service member only, not dependent)

Any applicant whose status cannot be verified is not eligible for in-state tuition regardless of how long he or she has lived in Georgia.

To avoid paying out-of-state tuition (if you believe you qualify for the in-state rate), please submit one of the above documents if you have not submitted FAFSA as soon as possible. Once we receive that documentation, your application will be evaluated for in-state tuition. Please Note:  If you have been classified as an out-of-state student for tuition purposes verification of lawful presence in the United States will not change your status as an out-of-state student without further proof that you are a resident of Georgia for tuition purposes.

Documents (except the certified birth certificate) may be faxed to 229-333-5482 or emailed as a scanned document (pdf, jpg, etc.) to admissions@valdosta.edu. You may also mail the documents directly to the Office of Admissions.
