Lawful Presence statement:
Any student who cannot be verified as lawfully present in the United States is not eligible to be considered for in-state tuition, regardless of how long he or she has lived in Georgia. In addition to being lawfully present in the United States, students must meet the in-state tuition requirements as outlined in TCSG Board Policy and Procedure V.B.3 to warrant an in-state classification. Students that are initially classified as out-of-state and successfully petition to have their residency changed to in-state also have to meet the verification requirement.

Helpful Hints
A transcript is official if it is delivered to Coastal Pines (by mail or in person) in the same sealed envelope it was placed in by the issuing institution. Transcripts cannot be accepted directly from students. Transcripts can also be sent using an approved, secure electronic transcript sending service. Approved electronic transcript sending services can send official secure transcripts to admissions@coastalpines.edu.

Students who attended high school or college outside the United States are required to have transcripts evaluated and translated by an approved evaluation agency. Below are links to approved agencies’ websites: www.jsilny.com www.wes.org/ www.lisano-intl.com/
