Degree Level Changes at UNG
Nighthawk Engagement and Student Transitions staff are here to help you determine if your next step at UNG is to change degree level.
Degree Level Change
The process of changing the degree level from associate to bachelor or bachelor to associate is known as a degree level change. There are many reasons why this might be right for you:
- You are ready to take upper-level courses (3000-40000 classes) for your degree.
- You have completed your associate degree and wish to continue to a bachelor’s program.
- You have reached the maximum number of credit hours allowed for financial aid eligibility.
- You want to take courses on the Dahlonega Campus. The Dahlonega Campus does not offer associate degrees, so students must be in a bachelor's program to take classes on that campus.
Degree Level with Campus Change
The process of changing your home campus from one UNG campus to another is known as a degree level withcampus change.
Each of UNG’s five campuses is unique in its student resources and degree offerings. Associate degrees are offered on the Blue Ridge, Cumming, Gainesville, and Oconee campuses. Bachelor's degrees are offered on the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses. UNG students can declare any of the degrees and majors offered at UNG on any campus; however, not all degrees can be completed on every campus.
It is essential to consult with your academic advisor and the UNG Degrees & Programs listing for more information about degree offerings by campus.
The most common reasons students change campuses:
- Degree program not offered on current campus
- Housing options
- More accessible location
- Lower student fees
- Student life
- Corps of Cadets
- Athletics
Please consult with your academic advisor to determine if this is right for you! You can locate your academic advisor on your Tranguid through BannerWeb.
