UNG Students wishing to go Transient to another institution

All North Georgia students wishing to go on ANY study abroad program will have to apply through the online application system.  The "Apply Now" button can be found on any selected program's page.   This is the only way for North Georgia students to make sure you will receive the appropriate credit for your experience.

In the online application system the following information can be found.

*To fill out the Course Equivalency Form, please follow the steps below:

• Take it to the appropriate department heads in which equivalent credit for courses at North Georgia is sought and secure their written approval for the courses taken overseas.
• Visit your academic advisor in order to discuss how the overseas program fits into your graduation requirements and to receive written approval for the courses selected.
• Visit the Financial Aid Office (308 Stewart Hall) to examine whether funding is available to support the overseas travel. It is necessary to make an appointment (706-864-1412) and complete the “Financial Worksheet” before the meeting since the process takes about a half-hour for each student. In general, more money is available the earlier financial aid preparations are made.
• Obtain Registrar’s signature to make sure that your graduation date won't be affected by your study abroad experience.

2. Along with the forms you fill out, you will also need to submit two Study Abroad References from faculty. These can be sent via e-mail through the online application system.
3. Other documents that you will need to submit with your application packet are:
