and international experiences that will match both your major

This new portal provides one example amongst the many ways
to fulfill the requirements for the International Plan. Weencourage students to use this portal as a starting point, but
also consult academic and study and work abroad advisors to
select coursework and international experiences that match
your own goals.

IP Degree Designator
Once the IP is worked into DegreeWorks, it will also be added to the new Online
Application for Graduation. For now, students petitioning to graduate with the IP
Designator must still complete the IP Degree Designator Form (hard-copy; on
Forms section of website: http://www.internationalplan.gatech.edu/forms ).
Please note this form has changed: The Office of the Registrar has requested that
the IP designator forms be collected and submitted by the International Plan
Assistant Director. Therefore, students will obtain academic unit signatures first,
then submit the original copy to the IP for the final approval.

Georgia Tech through programs that offerinformation, fun activities, opportunities to get
involved, and events where they can meet
other students.
R.A.T.S: "Recently-Acquired Tech Students,"

one of the many treasured traditions at Tech.
There is more behind the R.A.T.S. program
than little yellow hats.
The tradition of wearing the cap, with careful

upkeep, is still regarded. Many organizations,
especially the GT Band, make sure each year
that the RATS tradition is kept alive.
