If votes go as anticipated Tuesday, Augusta State University and the Georgia Health Sciences University will combine to become Georgia Regents University.
Macon State College and Middle Georgia College will become Middle Georgia State College.
A new school named South Georgia State College will be formed by combining South Georgia College and Waycross College.
Additionally, the University of North Georgia will be created by combining North Georgia College & State University with Gainesville State College.
