First Semester Advising
Once you’re at UNG, you’ll be able to register yourself for all future semesters. Students are assigned to advisors based on their major and number of credit hours. If you have fewer than 45 credit hours, you’ll have a Mandatory Advising hold on your account, requiring you to meet with a Professional Advisor to plan for the next 1-2 semesters before you can register for classes. If you are bringing any college credit (AP exams, dual enrollment coursework, transfer courses, etc.) into UNG, you may begin working with a Faculty Advisor from your first semester at UNG.
During this advising appointment, ask your Professional Advisor about your major, classes, UNG policies, and available resources. This is also a great time to explore other major options if you have questions! Prepare for this appointment by familiarizing yourself with the Advising Tools for your major, including the Plan of Study and Degree Map.
