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
