Advisement is an essential part of planning your academic career. Your academic advisor will help you to carefully plan your program of study and track graduation requirements as well as serve as a resource. It is important that you meet with your academic advisor at least once each semester. Meeting with your academic advisor prior to registration will ensure that you are enrolling in appropriate courses which will help you to progress satisfactorily toward your degree requirements.

You cannot enroll in a course and its prerequisite during the same semester. A prerequisite designates a requirement that must be met before taking another action. Most commonly, a prerequisite is a course that you must pass (sometimes with a minimum grade) before being eligible to enroll in another course.

If you receive a prerequisite error when registering, it means that you have not satisfactorily met the prerequisites for one or more courses. You should contact your academic advisor to determine the courses for which you should be registering.

Some course sections are designated for specific populations of students. For example, a course section may be only for students studying abroad. Other course sections may be tied to a University Housing living/learning community or an honors class. Unless you are a member of this population, you are not eligible to enroll in that specific course section.

You can view the courses for which you are waitlisted and your status on your My.GeorgiaSouthern portal home page. When a seat becomes available, you only have 24 hours to accept or cancel. If you do not accept within the 24 hours, you will be deleted from the waitlist. If you run into problems, please contact the Office of the Registrar!

To be in good academic standing requires a 2.0 GPA; however, several majors require a higher GPA to maintain good academic standing within that major. To determine what is required for your program, you should contact your academic advisor.

The minimum number of credit hours required to graduate is 124; however, specific graduation requirements vary by program, so it is very important that you meet with your academic advisor at least once each semester. Your academic advisor will help you to carefully plan your program of study and track graduation requirements as well as serve as a resource. Meeting with your academic advisor will ensure that you are enrolling in appropriate courses, which will help you to progress satisfactorily toward your degree requirements.

You must apply for graduation the semester before you anticipate completing degree requirements through your WINGS account.

• Select “WINGS”
• Select “Student”
• Select “Apply for Graduation”

It is recommended that you meet with your academic advisor at that time to be cleared for graduation. For more information regarding applying for graduation and commencement, please visit the Office of the Registrar’s website.
