Registration Procedures

GCSU Procedures:

Continuing students may register for the upcoming term on line from their PAWS account during the dates published in the University Calendar. Registration for the Spring semester usually begins at the end of October; registration for the Summer and Fall terms usually begins in March. Students may not register if they have holds on their record that block them from registering.

Continuing students should take responsibility for their own registration and for their own schedules. Advisors should not perform registration, add, or drop functions for continuing students, except under unique or extraordinary circumstances. Additional information on registration processes is available at the Registrar's Office Web Site.

POUNCE is Georgia College’s registration process for all newly admitted freshmen. Through POUNCE, students submit course preferences and academic information via an online form. An advisor then uses that information to register the student for Fall and Spring courses. POUNCE begins February 1stand continues through the summer semester. Incoming students receive POUNCE instructions and information after they submit a confirmation deposit.

INTRO is Georgia College’s registration process for newly admitted transfer students. Through INTRO, students submit academic information via an online form, which is then forwarded to the student's professional advisor. Incoming transfer students receive information about INTRO after being fully accepted for an upcoming term.
