    • If you are transferring from a college you must also meet our transfer admission criteria.

      College Dual Enrollment

      Those applying for freshman admission who have completed dual enrollment through another institution while enrolled in high school should meet the following:

      • Bachelor's degree applicants: At least a 2.5 cumulative GPA on all college dual enrollment coursework. (Students with dual enrollment GPA's below this may be considered on a case-by-case basis.)

      Applicants who have been suspended from a college or university during dual enrollment may not be eligible for admission.

If you have dual enrolled at multiple colleges, please request that an official transcript from each school be sent to UNG.

      • Note: At this time, the University of North Georgia will not superscore current and redesigned SAT test scores due to variation in design and content.  

      Army Regulations require verified proof of lawful presence in order to participate in ROTC and the Corps of Cadets. Lawful presence will need to be provided prior to an admissions decision being made for Corps of Cadets participation. Students who cannot provide lawful presence may be admitted to the University of North Georgia, but not as a cadet. We cannot evaluate your application for admission until you have submitted a valid document for your verification of Lawful Presence Documentation.

      Check your application status to ensure we have received all required documents to evaluate your application.

    Send documents to:

    University of North Georgia

    • Notes

      Some bachelor's degree programs have additional requirements that you must complete before you can enroll in that major.  Examples include Elementary & Special Education, Middle Grades, Secondary & Science Education, Athletic Training, Exercise Science, and Nursing.  Please contact the academic department of your desired major to determine whether there are additional requirements. Admission to UNG doesn't guarantee you admission to a specific major.

      Transfer Course Credit

      Transfer credit is usually awarded for courses that are designed to be part of an associate or bachelor's degree program and are completed with satisfactory grades in regionally accredited colleges. Such courses must generally correspond to the length, time and content of those offered in the curricula at the University of North Georgia.

      For questions regarding whether transfer credit will be accepted, please refer to our course transfer equivalencies web page. Please note that this is not a complete list because it only includes courses that have transferred to the University of North Georgia in the past. If you still have questions after reviewing this page, please contact one of the admissions offices in the section below.

      Note that you are required to earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1101 and 1102 (or equivalents) in order for these courses to transfer. Other courses earned at accredited institutions may transfer with grades of "D", to the extent that the grades on all credits accepted for transfer average at least 2.0. All "D" grades in core curriculum courses taken within the University System of Georgia are transferable, with the exception of English 1101 and 1102.

    The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy, Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 require higher education institutions to provide an annual security report and annual fire safety report that contain crime statistics and fire statistics for the three most recently completed calendar years, institutional policies or procedures for reporting crimes and current policies concerning the security of, and access to, campus facilities and residencies, as well as security considerations in the maintenance of campus facilities.

    A print copy of the most recent report is available upon request, email clery@ung.edu.
