Eligibility & Applying

Applicants must meet these guidelines to be eligible:

First-semester freshmen should have a minimum high school GPA is 3.5.
- For 2024-2025, applicants will not be required to submit SAT scores. While not required, the scores can be submitted.
- Previous first-semester students have demonstrated that a typical honors student has a minimum SAT score of 1200.
Current college students who have a college GPA of at least 3.2 are eligible to apply.
Qualified Move On When Ready/Dual Enrollment students are welcome to take Honors courses, just as they would any other course at UNG, even if they do not plan on completing the program.
Please note the UNG Honors Program application is separate from the UNG application process to a baccalaureate or associate program. Students may apply to UNG and to the Honors Program in any order, but students must be accepted into UNG through the UNG admissions process to enroll in the UNG Honors Program. Please check out the UNG admissions page 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!
