    Cadet Overnight Visit Experience (COVE)

    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:

      Reporting to the staff duty officer in Gaillard Hall in the Military Village on campus between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m., you will be met by a Cadet who will serve as your host. 

      Evening:

      You will then go to the dining facility to eat supper.  After supper, you will observe and participate in various activities until lights out. You will sleep in a Cadet room. 

      Next Morning:

      Waking up early, you will conduct personal hygiene, and participate in physical fitness training, room inspection, or training with your Cadet host. Afterward, it will be time to clean up, get dressed for classes, and eat breakfast in the dining facility.  Then you will attend classes with your host. 

      Mid-Morning:

      At 11:00 a.m. you will go to the Cadet Admissions Office, located on the third floor of the Chestatee Building (#122 on the campus map), where you will receive information on the programs and opportunities available at UNG that fit your goals for college. You will also learn about the various scholarship and financial aid options available. Your parents may join you for this session.*
