Nontraditional students with Learning Support requirements will not be advised by your Academic College, but rather the Learning Support Office during Orientation. Students with learning support requirements are advised through the Learning Support office until they complete those requirements. If you still must take the Compass Exam, please schedule that prior to Orientation registration. If you have questions about Learning Support, or if you need to schedule the Compass Exam, please contact Learning Support & Testing at 678-839-6435 or visit them at http://www.westga.edu/~lst/.
Students are encouraged to bring their Transcript(s) from all previous institutions as transcript credit evaluations may not be completed prior to their Orientation. Without transcripts or a transcript credit evaluation, advisors will not have enough information to help students make a schedule. Also, please check the Transfer Equivalency Guide at: https://grim.westga.edu/pls/UWGP_DAD/hwwktreq.find_state for more information on courses that may transfer. You should also bring a copy of this report from your prior institution to your advising appointment.
