How to Register for Orientation
- Log in to UNG Banner Web
- Go to the Student tab
- Select the Orientation Reservation link
- Complete the Academic Interest form. UNG professional advisors use the information in this form to build your first semester class schedule prior to your orientation date. You can only submit this form one time. You can make changes to your schedule after attending orientation.
- You will be prompted to choose your orientation date
- Confirm your reservation
- Once you make your reservation, you will be charged an orientation fee based on your session type.
- You will gain access to the online pre-orientation modules. These modules are required and must be completed prior to attending your live virtual or in person orientation. A hold is placed on your student account until these modules are complete, which will prevent any changes to your academic schedule. We recommend you complete the modules when you are making your orientation reservation.
- You will receive an automated email with your reservation details
- The "OR" hold will be removed from the student account after the student completes the orientation program.
- You should monitor your UNG email for communications from an academic advisor. Advisors will be building advance schedules based on major, first-come first-served. You will be able to view your advance schedule on your Tranguid in Banner once created.
Note: For information about orientation schedules, payment, cancellations, and other questions, see the FAQs page.
