Cadet Admissions

International Students

You are considered an "international" student if you are not a US citizen or a permanent resident alien.  To attend college in the US, you must obtain a F-1 or J-1 visa.  If you seek a visa, you must apply for admission as an international student.  International students who are Cadets in the Corps of Cadets pay in-state (Georgia) resident tuition. 

Please note that we do not work with agents, and there is no preference given to agents. We work directly with you for admission to the University of North Georgia. 

If you have questions regarding admission as a Cadet, please e-mail Mrs. Chris Rodriguez-Smith at chrisrs@ung.edu
