Quick Guide to Admission and Registration

APPLICATION - Submit a completed Application for Admission at www.gadsdenstate.edu. Click "Apply." Ensure all admission documents are provided to the Admissions Office at admissions@gadsdenstate.edu.

TRANSCRIPTS - Order final and official transcripts from the high school(s) and any previous college(s) attended. Transcripts should be sent directly to the Gadsden State Admissions Office. Registration may be restricted until transcripts are received

ADVISING - Advisor contact information can be found in MyGadsdenState or listed with each program of study in the Degree and Certificate section of this catalog.

TESTING - If applicable, take the placement test. Students are required to be assessed if prior exemptions are not met; speak with your advisor for further details.

COURSES - Register for courses in MyGadsdenState. Registration assistance is available during regular business hours. Students with 24 or more credit hours are eligible to register during priority registration.  

SCHEDULE CHANGE (ADD/DROP)- Students may make schedule changes during the published Add/Drop period by accessing MyGadsdenState. Students receiving financial aid should consider the impact of schedule changes on their financial aid status before adding/dropping a course. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the drop process. (Refer to the Withdrawal Policy for information on withdrawing from a course or the College)

PAYMENT - Complete payment of tuition and fees. A student’s registration is not confirmed until tuition and fees are paid or assumed by financial assistance. Students are encouraged to pay fees the same day they register to avoid deletion of their schedules. Pay online through MyGadsdenState, pay in-person at the Business Office or enroll in a payment plan.

STUDENT ID - Obtain a student identification (ID) card, which is also used as a library card. The ID is to always be in the student’s possession while on campus or participating in or attending College events.

PARKING HANGTAG - Complete motor vehicle registration if planning to have a motor vehicle on a Gadsden State campus or instructional site.
