documentation (marriage certificate, court order, birth certificate, etc.) must also be
presented as proof of the name change.

Major/Minor Change Information
Currently enrolled students may change their major on-line within Banner. Login to the system
and access Student Services & Financial Aid. Click on Major/Minor Update. Select and submit your
requested change.
This request form only sends an email to the department of the requested major. The department will then contact the
Registrar's office affirming the change and assigning a new advisor. Updates are not immediate. An
email will be sent to your NGCSU email account to confirm the change.
If a major change is not approved, the department of that major should contact the student. Questions regarding
this process should be sent to the new academic department.
Students who would like to major in Nursing or Education must contact that department directly to
learn about the entrance requirements for these programs of study.

Enrollment/Degree Verification
Enrollment Verification
Beginning October 2004, the Registrar’s office teamed with the
National Student Clearinghouse and named them
our authorized certifying agent for enrollment verifications. This self-service allows NGCSU
students access to their enrollment information via the National Student Clearinghouse web
site. Students can login into our Banner system and request enrollment certifications without
contacting the Registrar’s office.
Current-term enrollment cannot be verified until after the drop/add period. Verification
of enrollment cannot be provided for future terms. To request an enrollment verification,
login to Banner and follow these links:
- Student and Financial Aid
- Clearinghouse Student Self-Service
- Link to NSC
You can 'obtain an enrollment certificate' for the current term or all terms of attendance at
NGCSU.
Degree Verification
In October 2004, the Registrar's office authorized the National
Student Clearinghouse to be our certifying agent. Organizations or individuals who would like
to verify a degree must contact the Clearinghouse.

Transfer Credit
Students who want to transfer to NGCSU as well as NGCSU students who complete work as
a transient student at another institution will have each transcript from all prior colleges
evaluated in the Registrar's Office. This evaluation is done to determine if a course is
equivalent to an NGCSU course.
The Transfer Equivalencies site below can assist students to determine how credit has been
transferred to NGCSU in the past for other students. The site is not exhaustive but includes
work brought into NGCSU by prior students. It is a guide only. The listing
or exclusion of certain institutions and/or courses does not reflect the transferability
of course credit. If students or advisors have questions, please contact the
Registrar’s Office.

In State Residency
Currently enrolled students who are classified by NGCSU as out-of-state students (for
tuition purposes) but wish to qualify as in-state students must file an Application for
In-state Tuition with the Registrar's Office. The burden of proof that the student
qualifies as an in-state student under the regulations of the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia rests with the student.
Applications are available in the Registrar's office or from the following site using
Adobe Acrobat Reader.
