      Application Process

      • Step 1Application and Application Fee
      • Step 2Official Documentation
      • Step 3Verification of Lawful Presence in the U.S.
      • Step 4Application Review

      Apply for admission online using the GAFutures.  Both Georgia and out-of-state residents create an account with GAfutures to apply.  If you cannot apply online, download a paper application. You will pay a non-refundable application fee whether you apply online or using paper.

      Submit an official letter of Transient Permission from your home institution registrar or dean. Ensure the statement includes your academic standing and eligibility to return to your home institution.

      Submit your verification of lawful presence documentation if you wish to pay in-state tuition. This is not required if you pay out-of-state tuition. Out-of-state tuition is much higher than in-state tuition. Admission to UNG is not contingent upon proof of lawful presence. If you no longer wish to be considered for tuition at the in-state rate, please contact us so that we can remove the requirement from your record.

      Two weeks after you complete steps 1-3, check your application status to ensure we have received all required documents to evaluate your application.
