Georgia Tech is committed to expanding access and reducing financial barriers for students as a member of the American Talent Initiative. First-year applicants not offered admission may receive a Talent Initiative Pathway offer to apply as a transfer student if they meet the following eligibility:
Have strong academic credentials (based on course selection and grades) within the first-year applicant pool.
Pre-Calculus or higher Math completion (in High School or Dual Enrollment)
Meet ATI and/or Georgia Tech financial aid requirements.
Enrolling at Georgia Tech via the Transfer Initiative Pathway is not a guarantee of eligibility for student financial aid. The application for financial aid is a separate application process that all applicants are encouraged to complete by established deadlines. Eligibility for any financial aid is determined annually.
Computer Science Major Restriction
All Georgia Tech majors except for Computer Science are eligible for students when applying to transfer as part of the Talent Initiative Pathway program. Due to high CS demand, we use a selective, holistic review process that considers a variety of comparative factors as part of the admission selection process for all CS transfer applicants.
The Talent Initiative Pathway Program is reviewed each year and adjusted as needed to align with institutional priorities.
To receive an offer of transfer admission through the Talent Initiative Pathway, you must:
Submit a Transfer Application
Submit a fall transfer application by the deadline. Admission to College of Design programs (Architecture, Arts, Entertainment, and Creative Technologies, and Music Technology) requires portfolio approval by COD faculty.
Complete Course Requirements by Major
Review the course requirements by major chart below and complete the minimum course requirements for your intended major by the fall term course requirement deadline.
The best resources for GT transfer credit information are the GT transfer equivalency table, catalog, and transfer credit pages.
Complete Credit Hour Requirements (after HS graduation)
Complete a minimum of 30 semester hours (or 45 quarter credits) after high school graduation at a U.S. accredited college by the fall term course requirement deadline.
Dual enrollment credits and credit by exam hours should not be included within the 30-semester hour or 45-quarter credit hour requirement.
Submit Your Official Transcript(s)
Submit official transcript(s) from all prior colleges by the fall term document deadline. If you’ve attended more than one college, request an official transcript from each one be sent to Georgia Tech.
Check with your institution to make sure credit by exam awards are listed by individual course on your official transcript. If credit by exam scores are not listed, then official test scores (AP/IB) are required by Georgia Tech and subject to GT transfer credit policy.
Meet GPA and Grade Requirements
Earn a cumulative GPA of 3.5 (or higher) and B grades (or higher) in all college coursework including Dual Enrollment coursework. Review our GPA page to review how we evaluate GPA and other important information. Applicants with a C grade or lower in college coursework including Dual Enrollment will be reviewed holistically and may not be admitted as a pathway applicant.
