Certification and Licensure

Professional Licensure and Certification Disclosure

Each state’s licensure board establishes educational requirements, standards of practice, residency rules, etc. These requirements may not match Georgia’s requirements. Students who plan to pursue a degree that leads to professional licensure or certification in a state other than Georgia should contact the program coordinator and the appropriate licensing entity for additional information and guidance. The University of North Georgia offers degree programs that meet the educational requirements students need to apply for professional licensure and certifications in Georgia. After receiving your license in Georgia, there are agreements and licensure compacts that may allow you to obtain a license to work in other states. Visit UNG’s Licensure and Certification Section for more information.

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!
