New Applicant
Applicants who have had no previous college or university credit and desire to earn course credit, a diploma, degree, or certificate from Savannah Technical College are considered beginning students and must:
- Submit a completed admissions application online (www.savannahtech.edu).
- Pay a non-refundable $25.00 application fee. Submitting an application will create a $25.00 charge regardless of enrollment status.
- Submit an official high school diploma or official GED Transcript with scores (in a sealed envelope or sent electronically directly from the high school). The applicant must request official transcripts be mailed directly to the Admissions Office or hand delivered in a sealed envelope. Applicants may submit documentation of one of the academic readiness paths defined under the Required Academic Criteria.
- Submit an official evaluation from an approved agency if the high school coursework was completed outside of the United States.
- Schedule the Accuplacer placement exam or submit satisfactory SAT or ACT scores. The ACCUPLACER test includes Writing, Reading, Arithmetic, Quantitative Reasoning, and/or Advanced Algebra. Its purpose is to determine if a prospective student needs additional basic skills courses before beginning a planned program of study. Contact the Testing Center for the most recent testing schedule.
- Attend an in-person Information session to assist in navigating Admissions and Financial Aid. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online (if seeking financial assistance) at www.fafsa.ed.gov or complete the HOPE Grant/Scholarship Application at www.GAfutur 005618 for the FAFSA. Students must apply at least two weeks before the start of the semester in order to have financial aid in place by the beginning of the semester.
Accepted applicants are strongly encouraged to attend an in-person orientation session held on the Liberty, Effingham or Savannah Campus. Online orientation is available for anyone unable to attend in-person.
