As a new first-year or transfer student, your UGA career begins at Orientation. After attending Orientation you will be ready to leave your mark at UGA. All new students must attend an Orientation session prior to enrollment at the University of Georgia, with the exception of transient students, former students, and post-baccalaureate students. These students should contact the academic advisor for their particular college for registration information.
IMPORTANT: Any student matriculating to the University of Georgia for the Spring 2010 term must reserve an Orientation Session by Thursday, December 17, 2009. Orientation is mandatory for all incoming students.
