Any full-time or part student is eligible to participate in the program. Students from institutions that are not part of the University System of Georgia are admitted on a space-available basis and must enroll as transient students at a participating institution. Out of state students may also enroll as transients through any of the participating University System of Georgia Locations. Most out of state fees will be waived.

A printable application form is available on this page. Just click the link to access it. Completed applications should be submitted to your European Council Representative, along with a required application fee of $200 and four passport-size photographs. For a complete list of European Council representatives contact the European Council at 229.259.2591.

Because of space limitations, acceptance is on a first come, first served basis, according to the date of receipt of the application and application fee at the program office. Students are encouraged to apply well in advance of the application deadline to assure a place in the program.
The application deadline is Friday, March 6, 2009.

Students must be in good standing in order to be admitted to the program. Completion of an application form does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Note also that individual campuses may require letters of reference or other information beyond that required by the European Council.

Registration
Registering for the program is a two step process which requires completing the application, which is available through a link on this page, and enrolling in classes. In most cases, institutions in the University System of Georgia identify courses and course numbers of their own for the courses being offered in the program. This enables most students to register for courses at their home institutions. Students from institutions that do not permit registration for certain courses should contact the program office at Valdosta State University for assistance. Out of state students who wish to participate in this program should also contact the European Council office at 229.259.2591. For students at institutions actively involved in the European Council, the first step in registration is meeting with your campus representative.

Students may earn either three or six semester hours of credit in standard courses offering three hours of credit each. Students may enroll in one or two of these courses. In addition, there is a required two-hour culture course that all students must take. It is possible to earn eight credit hours through this program.
