  Accreditation
 

Use your La Musica Lirica experience to earn credit hours! Here's how for transient GA State Students:

Students who would be considered transient/visiting students at Georgia State and wish to receive credit for the study abroad course will be required to complete the following steps.

1. Apply to the GSU study abroad program of your choice by contacting the appropriate Program Director and follow steps required for that particular program.

2. Submit an application for admission to Georgia State University and a non-refundable $50 application fee. The application form for undergraduate students is available at the following website: http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwadm/app.html

3. Submit a letter of good standing and permission to attend from the Registrar’s Office at the current/home institution

4. Submit a statement of residency status for tuition purposes from the Registrar’s Office of the current/home institution (out-of-state students will pay only an additional $250 beyond in-state tuition)

5. Register for your class! All in/out-of-state students will be responsible for their own registration in the appropriate GSU courses after consultation with the program director. Program size is limited, so early application is strongly advised.

6. Contact the Study Abroad Programs office at 404-654-5819 to make sure you have completed all the necessary steps.

**Non-Georgia State graduate students should contact the appropriate college’s Graduate Assistance Office to request an application packet.
