Welcome to the NEST's Adult Learner Programs. If you are a student of ages 23 and up who wants to earn a college degree, this site will provide you with the resources you need to navigate through your collage path at UNG. Whether you have never attended college, have some college experience, or want to advance in your career, we are here to support you.
Our staff is dedicated to helping adult learners achieve their goals of higher education. Our goal is to ensure that all of our students are aware of the benefits available to them through the university and prepare to enter the post-graduate world. NEST strives to continually improve adult learner focused services, programs and outreach.
Your knowledge and expertise can save you time and money. Learn how to get your own customized action plan.
"Going back to college after 25 years was a huge decision, but has turned out to be a great one for my family and me." Renee Clement, one of the five recipients of the Women of UNG Scholarship
The Adult Learner and Transfer Lounges (ALTL) are dedicated spaces for adult learners (23 years or older) and/or transfer students to relax, socialize with peers, study privately or in groups, meet with one-on-one tutors, and work at computer stations. The centers are located on the Dahlonega Campus in the Hoag Student Center Room 320 and on the Gainesville Campus in the Student Center across from the campus bookstore.
Adult Learner services are available at other campuses upon request, email us at nest@ung.edu.
