March Freebie: No Application Fee for Most USG Colleges and Universities

Free applications are back at more than 20 institutions in the University System of Georgia. During the month of March, potential students can apply for admissions to most USG institutions at no charge.


By waiving fees, institutions are able to increase applicant pools and remove a financial barrier for those who might otherwise be reluctant to apply. Rates vary across institutions but savings can be significant. For a student applying at 10 USG institutions with average fees of $40, the savings would be $400. 


Students may apply for as many schools as they wish. Most institutions will automatically waive the fee during the application process. A few require specific steps during the application process. Below is a listing of all participating USG institutions and additional instructions where needed.

Institutions Offer Popular Online Courses and Programs


All of these institutions, with the exception of Augusta University and Georgia State University, also offer online core courses through USG eCore. This more flexibility and possible cost savings to enrolled students. USG eCore courses feature exceptional support services and no-cost textbooks. Students may take eCore courses along with traditional, face-to-face courses in any combination that they choose.


Most of the institutions also offer one or more fully-online programs through USG eMajor. Geared towards adult learners with some previous college, military, or work experience, these highly-flexible programs can significantly shorten pathways to degree completion. Offerings vary by institution, but include bachelor’s degrees in organizational leadership, criminal justice, information technology, and financial technology. 



USG eCampus is a service unit of the University System of Georgia that assists SACSCOC-accredited USG institutions in administering quality, affordable, high-demand, post-secondary online degrees and credentials that address the workplace needs of Georgia and beyond.

Through USG eCampus, several institutions offer online RN-to-BSN programs. These can typically be completed while RNs continue to work.
