Cadet Leadership Preparatory Program (CLPP)
There is a Place for You Here.
The Cadet Leadership Preparatory Program welcomes students who do not initially qualify for admission into the Corps of Cadets.
The program supports students with enhanced training and mentoring, inspiring cadet candidates success on the Gainesville campus, to successfully join the Corps in Dahlonega upon completion of their first year of college.

Testimonials
How CLPP Works
The Program uses the "Scholar, Athlete, Leader" model to set its goals. This model matches the current admissions standards for new Corps of Cadets students and those transferring internally. It makes sure students meet these important areas.
Successfully completing these requirements will enable you to transfer from the UNG Gainesville campus into the Corps of Cadets on the UNG Dahlonega campus. Failure to complete these requirements will lengthen your time within the Cadet Leadership Preparatory Program.
Additionally, each Cadet Candidate will be required to sign a code of conduct with the Cadet Leadership Academy to abide by the required uniform, attendance, physical fitness, and overall professionalism standards of the Cadet Leadership Academy, as future Cadets in our Corps.
