Transfer Orientation - Purpose

You will begin your UGA adventure at Orientation, a program designed to prepare you for a successful beginning to your UGA experience. This program will give you a head start in learning how to take full advantage of the many educational, social, and cultural opportunities awaiting you at UGA.

Orientation for new students beginning their enrollment in the summer term will take place on Monday, June 4. Orientation is necessary for you to meet with your assigned academic advisor and register for your first semester classes. Also, you will meet future classmates, purchase your UGACard student ID, hear from faculty and staff about opportunities and expectations, tour the campus, and discuss additional questions or concerns with specially trained student Orientation Leaders.

On the day of Orientation you will attend the academic area meeting in the school or college to which you were admitted. At or prior to the academic area meeting you will receive an advisement appointment time. Many students will subsequently meet with their academic advisor on Tuesday, June 5. Classes begin on Thursday, June 7.

Please note that if you are a transfer student, you should bring a copy of your most recent grades and the "Transfer Credit Summary" you received from the Admissions Office with your acceptance letter. This summary may be needed during your advising appointment or your academic area meeting.
