This page applies students currently enrolled and those who have been enrolled in our MS program with classes still to take.
Prior to the start of a given semester, students should review the table below and identify the courses in which they wish to enroll. Students must contact the UGA Regulatory Affairs Department and advise the department of the course selections. Upon review, you will be cleared to register through the OASIS System.

Registration Clearance: It is the student's responsibility to contact this office detailing your plans for the upcoming semester in order to be cleared to register. We have added this web page that outlines our upcoming course offerings. Please refer to this page prior to the start of the new semester. You must contact the office by email. Only when the student receives an email confirmation will he/she be cleared to register. If this office does not hear from you, we will assume you are not enrolling for the upcoming semester and thus you will not be cleared to register.
