Interviews
Evaluative interviews are not part of the admissions process for most programs. If an interview is needed after faculty representatives of a specialized master's program review an applicant's file, the applicant will be given an appointment for this purpose. Applicants are therefore encouraged to provide complete answers to all questions asked on the applications. Applicants who have questions about the information in this catalog concerning admissions, the programs, or related matters, however, are invited to contact the Office of Academic Assistance and Master's Admissions at any time during the application process.

Letters of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation are not required for master's-level admission in the Robinson College of Business. Applicants who wish to submit them, however, may do so. Applicants who choose to submit letters must collect the letters from their recommenders in sealed envelopes; recommenders must sign their names across the sealed portion of the back of the envelope. Letters of recommendation must be submitted unopened with the rest of the application packet. They may not be reviewed by the applicant at any time. An applicant who does not wish to waive access to a letter of recommendation must arrange for the recommender to provide him or her a copy.

Immunization Certification
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires that accepted applicants who have never attended Georgia State University submit proof of immunization from measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) before being allowed to register. Forms for providing this certification to the Immunization Unit of the GSU Department of Health Services are available from the OAA. Questions about the requirement may be directed to the immunization unit (147 Sparks Hall, telephone: 404/651-1171; fax: 404/651-1238).

The college can consider applications for master's-level admission before receiving this documentation. Applicants will be eligible only for conditional admission and will not be allowed to register, however, until acceptable proof of immunization has been received.

Applicants born before January 1, 1957, are considered to be immune to measles and mumps, but the rubella immunization is required; this requires one vaccination.

Applicants born January 1, 1957, or later who have not already received the MMR immunization or who cannot document that they have received it must have two vaccinations at least 30 days apart. Applicants in this category should be aware of this time constraint. Sufficient time before registration may not be available to begin the immunization process after an admission decision is received.
