About Student Orientation and Success

Student Orientation and Success (SOS) helps prepare students for college success and global citizenship with intentional programming and cross-campus collaboration. Through engaging curricular and co-curricular opportunities, students will connect to peers, faculty, staff, and the university while learning to navigate UNG resources and processes.

Our Services Include:

  • providing comprehensive support to students from initial inquiry through registration of your first semester of classes
  • serving as an advocate to promote your specific needs so you can be successful and achieve your goals
  • serving as a liaison between you and other student support services
  • acting as a guide to connect you to the resources you need to make the most of your experience at UNG
  • facilitating communication between you and other departments to get your questions answered

Preparation

  • Students will learn valuable leadership skills for real-life application.

Navigation

  • Students will be able to identify and utilize appropriate resources to assist in holistic development.
  • Students will understand the value of using a growth mindset in overcoming challenges in and out of the classroom.
