Personalized Campus Visit

The tour that is offered by Undergraduate Admissions is a generalized tour to familiarize prospective students with what UNG has to offer. The personalized campus visit is led by an orientation leader and is customized for the admitted student to visit areas around the student’s campus specifically for them. The personalized campus visit will allow for short visits upon request with specific departments to drop off items, inquire about specific tasks, and cadet uniform fitting. Students will have the opportunity to find their classroom locations and visit their residence hall as well. The personalized campus visit is also limited to a smaller group as opposed to the admissions tour that can accommodate several families.

Although the Zoom orientation provides a wealth of knowledge to prepare incoming new and transfer students for their first semester on the UNG campus, it does not provide an opportunity to physically be on the campus and determine building locations for scheduled classes. The optional personalized campus visit allows students and their immediate family members to see the campus in person to become familiar with the layout of the campus.  The virtual orientation is only presented to the student (not family members), where the personalized campus visit includes family members, if desired.

Although the personalized campus visit is informational, there is not enough time to cover all the information that is necessary for the student to succeed as a new or transfer student. This important information is presented in the virtual session over the course of the six hour session.

The personalized campus visit is scheduled for one and a half to two hours.

The personalized campus visits are led by an active student orientation leader. Orientation leaders serve as a direct line of communication for students throughout the summer.

Students can only request their home campus for the personalized campus visit at this time.  If there is a need for the student to tour another campus, there is a self-guided tour option or it can be arranged on a case by case basis through NEST.

The specific dorm room will not be available to view on the personalized campus visit, however, students will be able to see a room within their assigned residence hall (pending availability) and see the laundry room/common spaces.

Yes, students can coordinate with friends and future roommates to attend the same personalized campus visit.  Each party/family will need to make their own reservation and every attempt to provide safeguards will be made with regards to student privacy and safety.

Personalized campus visits can be scheduled for a date that is after the mandatory virtual orientation via Zoom.  Registration will close one week prior to the date of the personalized campus visit date. Visit slots are on a first-come first served basis. We cannot guarantee a visit time slot for a particular day or time. Please contact the NEST if you have any questions regarding this.
