APPLICATION #1: APPLICATION TO STUDY AT GTL through the Office of International Education (OIE) (See above table for when this application will open for your desired semester)

1. Read through the OIE Transient Student Application Packet carefully, making sure you follow all instructions.
2. Submit the GT Study Abroad Online Application through atlas.gatech.edu. This will require creating a new username and password that is different from your GT Admissions login credentials. 
3. Ensure that all documents needed by OIE have been sent. If you are unsure if your documents have been received by OIE, please contact Jesse Ferreira at jesse.ferreira@oie.gatech.edu 
4. Pay the GTL Application fee of $500 through the Online Payment System. Please do not worry if the $500 is not processed right away; payments take a week to 10 days to process. So long as you apply and pay the fee by the deadline, you will be fine!
5. NOTE: Application order is based on the date the OIE online application and deposit are completed. This allows transient students to complete this GTL program application in time to "reserve" a spot in the program, and they can fill out the Georgia Tech Admissions applications after applying to the program. Students can just type their name in the GTID section of the deposit payment portal since they will not yet have been assigned a GTID.

*Please note that this fee is non-refundable once acceptance to GTL is confirmed. Once accepted, you may defer your fee to the next semester, but may not get the money back. Please make sure you read and understand our cancellation policy.
