What to Expect

Second Semester Advising

If you still have fewer than 45 credit hours, you’ll once again have a Mandatory Advising hold placed on your account. If you’re questioning your major, make sure you book an appointment with your advisor to discuss your options!

Use the Advising Tools for your major and review your Degree Works ahead of time. This interactive audit shows you which requirements you’ve completed, which are in progress, and which you still need to complete. Think of it as your roadmap to graduation, and use it to help you choose which courses to register for to stay on track!

Third Semester Advising

This may be your last semester with a Mandatory Advising hold. Make sure you bring any questions about your major, degree progress, course selection, and UNG policies to this appointment with your Professional Advisor!

Once you reach 45 credit hours or are accepted into a professional program, you’ll transition to advisement by a Faculty member in your major department. Faculty Advisors are experts in their field, and will be able to answer your major-specific questions, help you plan for future course registration, and discuss internships and careers.

Before You Get to Campus

Congratulations on your acceptance, and welcome to Nighthawk Nation!

After completing the Academic Interest Form and registering for an Orientation session, you will be pre-registered for your first semester by a professional advisor for your major. Contact the major advisor for your campus if you have questions! Check your UNG Email daily to make sure you’re receiving all our communication, so you stay informed.

After Orientation, you’ll have the opportunity to adjust your pre-registered schedule, subject to course availability. Make an appointment with your assigned advisor, found on your Tranguid, to discuss any questions you have before you arrive!

First Semester Advising

Once you’re at UNG, you’ll be able to register yourself for all future semesters. Students are assigned to advisors based on their major and number of credit hours. If you have fewer than 45 credit hours, you’ll have a Mandatory Advising hold on your account, requiring you to meet with a Professional Advisor to plan for the next 1-2 semesters before you can register for classes. If you are bringing any college credit (AP exams, dual enrollment coursework, transfer courses, etc.) into UNG, you may begin working with a Faculty Advisor from your first semester at UNG.

During this advising appointment, ask your Professional Advisor about your major, classes, UNG policies, and available resources. This is also a great time to explore other major options if you have questions! Prepare for this appointment by familiarizing yourself with the Advising Tools for your major, including the Plan of Study and Degree Map.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
