If the student has taken the SAT or ACT prior to our Early Action deadline, we advise that the student applies and competes for a spot in our early decision. It is a non-binding decision if accepted. In the case that they have met the expectations but not extended acceptance, they will automatically be updated to the Regular Admission pool.

Associate

Complete 17 (16 for students graduating 2011 or earlier) Required High School Curriculum (RHSC) units of high school course work. If you are missing a course, you may be considered for admission if you meet additional guidelines. You may be considered for admission if you have a GED, are at least 18 years old (exceptions for younger students may be considered), meet all associate admissions expectations, and your high school graduating class graduated within 5 years of the start of your intended semester of enrollment.

Bachelor's

Complete 17 (16 for students graduating 2011 or earlier) Required High School Curriculum (RHSC) units of high school course work. No exceptions on the failure to complete the required 17 units of high school course work.

At UNG, we base our admission off of the Freshman Index. This is a combination of the student’s core GPA and test scores from the ACT or SAT. Here is the formula we use to calculate a student’s Freshman Index.

• SAT FI = (High school GPA x 500) + SAT critical reading + SAT math
• ACT FI = (High school GPA x 500) + (ACT composite score x 42) + 88

The minimums are as follows:

• Students need the following documents to complete their application process:
  • Application and application fee
  • Official High School Transcript
  • Official College Transcript if your student has completed college coursework through dual enrollment at the time of their application

  • Proof of Lawful Presence
• We do NOT require essays, letters of recommendations, interviews, etc.

The associate pathway is held on the Blue Ridge, Cumming, Gainesville and Oconee campuses. It is our two-year pathway for students to complete their core classes. Once they complete 30 hours with a 2.25 GPA, they can choose to change their degree level to a bachelor's degree on either the Gainesville or Dahlonega Campus.

Currently, UNG serves students on 5 campuses. These include the Blue Ridge, Cumming, Dahlonega, Gainesville and Oconee campuses.

Dahlonega is exclusively for the bachelor’s pathway only, which consists of 50+ degrees, as well as the only campus with residential housing.

The Gainesville campus offers all associate pathways and 20+ bachelor’s pathways.

The Blue Ridge, Cumming, and Oconee campuses allow students to start either the associate or bachelor’s pathway but will require a campus and degree level change to the Dahlonega or Gainesville campus, depending on the major.

The student must meet our eligibility criteria to be considered for admission into our UNG Honor’s Program. The student must carry a GPA of 3.5 and a minimum of 1200 combined on the SAT or ACT composite of 25. Just because the eligibility criteria is met does not mean automatic acceptance. Find our details about the application and deadlines.

Disability is not considered for admissions to any public university. Students are encouraged to use their accommodations in standardized testing, such as the ACT, SAT, and ACCUPLACER tests. The student must register with UNG Student Accessibility Services and provide documentation in order to receive accommodations. A student’s 504 or IEP will not automatically transfer to college.
