Freshman Timelines

In general, there are three times during the year that UGA releases freshman decisions:

  • The Fall freshman application will be accessible online in early August, and the Spring freshman application will be available in late May
  • Late November to Early December – EA Decisions released, with in-state being in November and OOS in December.
  • March – Final Decisions for all remaining RD and deferred EA freshman applicants

See the Admissions Deadlines page for more details on the specific deadlines and required materials for admission consideration.

Transfer Timelines

Transfer decisions are sent out based upon the term for which a student has applied, and a large initial group of decisions are released about 2-4 weeks after the transfer deadline. After the initial transfer decision group, any later decisions are made on Fridays during the review period. We are not able to estimate when a student will receive a decision:

  • The Summer/Fall transfer application will be accessible online in mid-late January, and the Spring application in late May.
  • Summer/Fall Transfers – Generally, the review process begins in mid-February, with a a decision release for most applicants in mid-late March. In addition, files with more complicated transcripts or multiple transcripts may take longer to review. UGA releases decisions late afternoon on Fridays, and we will release decisions every Friday after the initial transfer decision date.
  • Spring Transfers – Generally, UGA begins the review and initial decision release of Spring files in late July, and will finish our reviews in early to middle August, with the initial decision group going out in early to mid August.
  • The Summer/Fall deposit date is June 1, while the Spring deposit date is November 1.

Transfer deadlines are for both the application and for all college transcripts. UGA will only review academic work that is completed and sent to our office by the deadline. For example, Fall transfer applicants have a deadline of 3/1, so we can only review work completed and into our office by 3/1. We cannot use work from a Spring term where classes are in progress and will be completed after the deadline.
