Spring Orientation Information

Welcome to the University of Georgia!

Whether you start in the summer, fall, or spring—New Student Orientation is ready to welcome you and prepare you for a successful transition to the University of Georgia. Check out this page with information regarding orientation for our Spring Admits and if you have any questions, email us at orientation@uga.edu

All incoming spring start first-year and transfer students are required to complete the online UGA 101 modules, meet with an academic advisor, and attend a one-day in-person orientation session. The one-day in-person orientation session will allow students the chance to connect with other incoming students, receive a more in-depth introduction to the University of Georgia, and participate in small groups led by current UGA students. Academic advising appointments will be held during the in-person orientation session. Access to UGA 101 modules and in-person orientation session registration will be accessible on the student’s application status page.

Students must attend one of the following in-person orientation sessions:

  • Thursday, December 8
  • Friday, December 9
  • Thursday, January 5
  • Friday, January 6
