Tips for filling out your new freshman application. 

  • Create a GAFutures Account
  • If you do not have a social security number, you can fill out the application without including it.
  • When asked if you are applying for in-state tuition, select NO.
  • After you submit your application, ask your counselor to send UNG your official high school transcript via GA Futures. You do not need to send UNG a picture of your ID if you do not have one. 
  • If you participated in dual enrollment or attended another college, request their registrar’s office to send UNG an official transcript.
