International Student Orientation

We are so excited that you've chosen to attend the University of North Georgia (UNG), and our goal is to help make your experience studying in the United States a wonderful one! The first event all international students must attend before classes start is International Student Orientation (ISO). This orientation is mandatory, and if you arrive late or cannot attend for any reason, contact your international student advisor immediately

Regardless of your campus, there are a few things that are applicable to all UNG international students.

Before Orientation

• All international students should complete the UNG online pre-orientation modules after confirming acceptance to UNG. 
• Review the International Student Handbook (PDF)
• After arriving in the United States, complete the International Student Onboarding modules in the International Student Portal before you attend the mandatory in-person Orientation. (Log in using your UNG username and password.) You will be prompted to upload a scanned file or picture of your passport, visa, signed I-20 Form, and most recent I-94. 

During Orientation

• Learn how to access your student invoice through BannerWeb
• Learn about tuition and fees
