Course Registration

You can find all important dates and deadlines for registration on the Georgia Tech Academic Calendar. Registering for courses is done via OSCAR. Once you enter OSCAR, you will also see the Schedule of Classes.

When do I register?

Registration is done based on your time ticket. Check your Georgia Tech email for all time tickets and registration updates.

What do I do if a course is full?

Waitlists will be utilized and overload requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Students must also have the permission of the instructor of the course.

What if I need a permit?

Request a permit.  

  • Note: If you are a non-Public Policy major, your permit requests will be processed during Phase 2 of registration. 

  • If you are a current undergraduate Public Policy student who wants to take a graduate course, please email Ronny Anderson to get a department-level permit first and then contact the Registrar's office to receive the level permit.  

  • Undergraduate students who will become graduate students in the Fall can submit for a level permit or wait until their status changes to graduate student and then register as normal.
