The University of North Georgia is pleased to assist international students. UNG is located in Northeast Georgia, surrounded by natural beauty, and offers a wide-variety of outdoor activities, yet conveniently located north of Atlanta, a culturally diverse metropolitan area.
An international student is someone who has not been granted or does not have U.S. citizenship or permanent U.S. residency. In order for these students to study in the United States, they must obtain an F-1 or J-1 visa. For more information on immigration and visa regulations, visit the International Student & Scholar Services website.
In addition to the Graduate Admissions application process, international applicants have the following requirements:
If you are not currently on campus, you may choose to have your documents mailed to you. Unless specifically indicated as part of a partnership agreement, all documents will now be shipped from the Center of Global Engagement (CGE) via eShipGlobal.
Each student, scholar, or intern will be responsible for all costs of shipping and tracking documents through this service. Instructions for using eShipGlobal will be provided to you once the CGE has prepared your documents.
