International Cadet Orientation
Before you arrive to UNG, you will need to register for and complete the UNG Student Online Pre-Orientation (OPO). OPO is a required program for all International Cadets attending UNG. Online Pre-Orientation is compatible with all major web browsers, as well as mobile devices. There is also an ADA version available if needed.
How to access OPO:
- After you receive your acceptance to UNG and the Corps of Cadets, log in to the Check Application Status page using your UNG ID (900 number) and your date of birth.
- Click the blue Online Pre-Orientation button on the right-hand side of the page.
- Follow the instructions in the opening screens to ensure you complete the whole program.
OPO Orientation Questions and Information:
- It will take approximately 30 minutes to one hour from start to finish to complete all OPO modules.
- You must complete all modules to release the student registration hold.
- On the last module, be sure to click the next arrow until you arrive back to the main menu page. That is the action that will release your hold.
- The checklist within the program is a supplemental list of action items to complete prior to the start of the semester. Simply checking off the items on the checklist without viewing the modules will not release the hold.
- OPO is not the same as the AlcoholEdu and SAPU programs.
- If you have any issues or questions about OPO, please contact SGM Terry Baumann at terry.baumann@ung.edu or phone 706-867-1748.
