Safety Resources
The Center for Global Engagement (CGE) at the University of North Georgia (UNG) is committed to providing outstanding and enriching study abroad opportunities for our students.
Education Abroad Operation Updates
While UNG is planning for all programs to run, travel and safety conditions related to COVID-19 may prevent programs from happening. Currently, spring, spring break, and summer 2021 programs are accepting applications.
Find more details on the Spring and & Summer 2021 COVID-19 Notice page.
Students
Should you encounter an emergency abroad, first contact your program director or on-site coordinator for support. When you have addressed any immediate health or safety issues and are in a secure location, contact your family and Campus police +1 (706-864-1500). Someone will be able to assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will work with you, along with the Embassy in your location, to provide support during a period of unrest. Support could come in many forms and will be appropriate to the situation.
