Former and Returning UNG Student Admission Requirements and Application Procedures

New Deadlines

You are not required to resubmit test scores (SAT, ACT, etc.) to UNG if we already have those test scores from your prior acceptance. If you have taken new tests since you left UNG and you would like those scores considered, please request those scores be sent to UNG.

If your primary campus is Blue Ridge, Cumming, Gainesville or Oconee please do not secure off-campus housing until after you have registered for your classes.

You will be asked to choose a campus on your Application for Readmission. Not all programs are available on all campuses. You may start in an associate degree program on our Cumming, Gainesville or Oconee campus, or in a bachelor's degree program on any campus: Cumming, Dahlonega, Gainesville or Oconee. However, bachelor's degrees can only be completed on the Dahlonega or Gainesville campuses. Not all degree programs are offered on all campuses. Please view our degree offerings to better understand which majors are available on which campuses. You may need to take classes on other campuses or internally transfer to another campus to complete your degree.

You will be asked to declare a major on the Application for Readmission. You may return to your previous major or you may declare a new major. Not all degree programs are offered on all campuses. Please view our degree offerings to better understand which majors are available on which campuses.

Some bachelor's degree programs have additional requirements that you must complete before you can enroll in that major. Examples include Elementary & Special Education, Middle Grades, Secondary & Science Education, Athletic Training, Exercise Science, and Nursing. Please contact the academic department of your desired major to determine whether there are additional requirements. Admission to UNG doesn't guarantee you admission to a specific major.

If you were in an associate degree program previously and you are now applying for a bachelor’s degree program, your readmission will be evaluated based upon the requirements of the bachelor’s level program.

Transfer credit is usually awarded for courses that are designed to be part of an associate or baccalaureate degree program and are completed with satisfactory grades in regionally accredited colleges. Such courses must generally correspond to the length, time and content of those offered in the curricula at University of North Georgia.

For questions regarding whether transfer credit will be accepted, please refer to our Course Transfer Equivalencies web page. Please note that this is not a complete list because it only includes courses that have transferred to the University of North Georgia in the past. If you still have questions after reviewing this page, please contact one of the admissions offices in the section below.

Note that you are required to earn a grade of "C" or better in English 1101 and 1102 (or equivalents) in order for these courses to transfer. Other courses earned at accredited institutions may transfer with grades of "D", to the extent that the grades on all credits accepted for transfer average at least 2.0. All "D" grades in core curriculum courses taken within the University System of Georgia are transferable, with the exception of English 1101 and 1102.

Students readmitted after an absence of three or more consecutive semesters are subject to the requirements of the current catalog in effect the term they are readmitted. This could result in additional courses being required for graduation.
