All GT students will receive academic credits automatically like regular classes. If you are not a GT student, to receive academic credits along with your grade, first you need to be admitted to Georgia Tech as a special student through the Undergraduate Admission Office. Only current students (or graduates) of any college or university can be admitted as a special student. Click here to apply online. High school students do not receive academic credits. After completing your online course, you need to request the Registrar's Office to send your transcript to your home institution. If you are not interested in receiving academic credits or if you are a high school student, you can register through the Professional Education as a DLPE student. We can send letters containing your grade to DLPE students upon request, but no academic credits will be given.

No, you don't have to. If you cannot come to the campus location to take exams, contact your instructor at least two weeks before the exam. You can take exams at a preapproved location near you under a preapproved exam proctor. (Typically, an exam proctor is your supervisor or advisor. Proctors must sign a written agreement form to be approved.)

Online courses have an initial maximum of 10 for GT students and 10 for non-GT students. If there are spaces remaining on the first day of the semester, remaining spaces will be released to all students. If you are a GT student, you must go online to request an overload to be entered into the waiting list for the course. The instructor will email you by the end of the first day of the semester if you are selected as an overload student. Priorities are shown below:

1. majors (e.g., INTA/ML, GE/ML)
2. those planning to take internship/LBAT in Foreign Country
3. minors or cerficate seekers
4. graduating seniors, seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen
5. auditing students

Once your overload permit is issued, you will have 48 hours to complete your registration on OSCAR. If you still have not completed your registration by the end of that time period, your space may be given to other students.

Some do, and this is noted on the registration system when you register. If a class has a minimum requirement (typically, 8), and not enough students register for the class by the end of the first week of the semester, the class may be canceled. Typically, registration for online courses start slowly and the classes tend to be filled during the last registration phase (Phase II).

All non-GT students accepted into the program are responsible for registering for the class and paying all required fees by the deadlines in the “Official Calendars” (professional education students should consult with professional education for relevant fee deadlines).  Your window of registration may be limited to the last phase of registration during Add/Drop period. Please read registration information carefully. The Registrar strictly enforces all stated deadlines, and Modern Languages is unable to intervene on your behalf if you miss your registration window, so please register and pay your tuition/fee on time.

Professional Education (DLPE) students: Please contact DLPE office. All non-GT students (i.e. special students) for academic credit: The cost for the program is the regular, in-state tuition rate. Please go to Bursar's Office homepage to find out the current tuition rates. Faculty members cannot answer questions on tuitions and fees. Please contact Bursar's Office for more information.

Here is a way to estimate your tuition: Look for the tuition rate under "Undergraduate - Continuing Student" and multiply it by the number of credit hours plus $100 for a required technology fee. First-year courses (1001-U, 1002-U) are 4 credit hours and second-year courses (2001-U, 2002-U) are 3 credit hours. For example, if the tuition is $171 per credit hour and you are taking a 4-credit hour course:

$171 x 4 credit hours + $100 = $784

Yes. GT is required not to release any student records including grades to other institutions unless the student makes an individual request for it. Please contact the Registrar's Office and request your transcript to be sent to your home institution.
