Incoming transfer students from the point of application will begin to receive communications from their Transfer Coach! Transfer Coaches can assist students with general questions via phone or email or during virtual one-on-one appointments.
Any questions that are not answered by a transfer coach will be referred to the specified office or department for a follow-up. Scheduling an appointment with your transfer coach is an opportunity to tailor your needs as a new nighthawk and start your journey at UNG.
