Cadet Overnight Visit Experience (COVE) - Cadet Admissions

Experience a day in the life of a Cadet at the University of North Georgia!

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to experience the Corps of Cadets first-hand by participating in the activities of the day on our Dahlonega campus.

What would my visit be like?

Arrival:

Report to the Cadet Recruiting Office in the Chestatee Building on our Dahlonega campus at 9 a.m., and you will be met by a Cadet who will serve as your host.
*Parents, an informational brief will be offered to you as your student departs for their experience.

Morning:

After arrival, your observational experience will begin with your student host. You will get to observe classes in the morning and see student life in the early mornings.

As the afternoon classes wrap up, you will get to eat lunch at our state-of-the-art dining facility on campus, The Chow Hall. Following that you will continue see more campus life and classrooms until Corps Lab.
