    Some Topics of Assistance Can Include:

    • Credit Articulation/Equivalency
    • Financial Aid Information
    • Academic Advising
    • Transfer Student Orientation Information
    • Campus Resources and Support Services
    • Tau Sigma Honor Society Qualifications
    • Most Frequently Asked Questions

    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.

    How did you overcome your transfer struggles?
    By getting a part-time job at the library, I was able to make connections with staff, as well as students, to counteract the feelings of isolation so often felt during a transfer student's first semester. Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and putting myself out there has helped me to get involved with UNG activities.
