    Official District Transcripts

    Official District Transcripts Important Transcript Request Information via www.GAfutures.org District students request transcripts for Board of Regents (in-state) universities and colleges and Technical College System of Georgia technical colleges through their My GAfutures account on GAfutures. Once a student makes this request, the counselor reviews and fulfills this request electronically. After the counselor fulfills the request, the transcript(s) is delivered to the postsecondary school(s) that the student has authorized/requested. The MyGAfutures account should not be used by students who need transcripts sent to NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). This feature is currently unavailable in GAfutures. Seniors use this process. In addition, district students interested in a Dual Enrollment/Move On When Ready opportunity also use this process. Very Important: Final transcripts for Seniors (early to mid-June) will be sent to in-state schools through the MyGAfutures transcript(s) request process. Therefore, a Senior must request the final transcript for in-state schools using his/her MyGAfutures account to request that the final transcript is “fulfilled” by his/her school counselor. Seniors are to only request that a paper copy of the official transcript be processed when the purpose of the transcript is to meet admissions requirements for out-of-state college or university, to complete documentation for a scholarship(s), and/or to provide to a potential employer or the military. Any transcript questions/issues should be addressed by the student with the school counselor. HOPE Transcripts HOPE transcripts are available for all district students within 30 days of the close of each semester after transcript history is posted to district transcripts.

    COMPLETE COLLEGE GEORGIA | 2017 CAMPUS PLAN UPDATES East Georgia State College SECTION 1. INSTITUTIONAL MISSION AND STUDENT BODY PROFILE East Georgia State College (EGSC) is an associate degree granting, liberal arts institution providing its students access to academically transferable programs of study and targeted bachelor degrees at low cost to its students. The College extends its access mission from its home campus in Swainsboro to instructional sites in Statesboro and Augusta. Starting in July 2017, EGSC is included on the U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency Center annually updated Lowest Tuition and Lowest Net Price lists. EGSC began offering its initial baccalaureate degree, a bachelor of Science Degree in Biology, in Fall Semester 2012 and has awarded the degree to 12 students. The College launched its second bachelor program in Spring Semester 2016, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fire and Emergency Services Administration (FESA) and added an Associate of Arts FESA degree option in Fall Semester 2017. FESA is offered online for the convenience of working fire and emergency service professionals. The FESA baccalaureate program is the only one offered by a Georgia based college that follows the Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) curriculum created at the National Fire Academy. In Summer Semester 2017, EGSC made its first two awards of its FESA Bachelor of Arts Degree. In extending the College’s core mission of providing access to higher education beyond its home campus in Swainsboro, the College has increased the number and types of collaborations with other public institutions both within the University System of Georgia (USG) and within the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) throughout the Complete College Georgia initiative.
