Transfer Student Orientation

Our incoming transfer students complete an orientation program designed specifically for their needs. We value transfer student’s previous knowledge and experiences. Our program is built to supplement this with UNG specific knowledge.

Orientation sessions can include:

UNG History and Traditions
Transfer Experience Reflection
Career Action Plans
Academic Support Services
Academic Advising and Class Registration

We also provide a variety of breakout sessions that allow students to pick their own pathway! These include:

Financial Aid and The Business Office
Student Involvement
Campus Recreation and Wellness
Residence Life
Understanding Your Meal Plan and More
Student Money Management

All newly admitted degree-seeking transfer students are required to complete the orientation requirement prior to starting classes, regardless of previously earned transfer and dual-enrolled credits.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
