Enrollment Instructions
How to Apply
All first year students participate in a First-Year Program. You will choose your First-Year Program when you register for Orientation. You will receive information on this process from the Office of Admissions following your acceptance into UWG. First-Year Programs offered by Housing and Residence Life are called Living-Learning Communities, and they are only available to residential students.
During Orientation registration, you will make a first, second, and third choice of First-Year Program options. Your choices will be transmitted electronically to the program coordinator of your first choice program. That coordinator will evaluate your request and either accept you or forward your request to your second choice program, and so on. Once you are confirmed in a First-Year Program, you can view your program on the Orientation website. You will also receive confirmation of your First-Year Program when you arrive and check in for Orientation.
Special Instructions
Note that some Living-Learning Communities have special admission requirements, summarized below.
Residential Peer Mentoring (RPM), Foreign Languages and International Relationships (FLAIR), Men’s Adventure, Leadership, & Excellence Society (MALES), and The Well Women of West (WWW) Living-Learning Communities require that students submit a housing contract along with the responses to the LLC supplemental questions AND register for the related course(s).
The supplemental question form can be found here. Once completed, a printed hard copy must be attached to the housing contract. Students who do not complete all of these requirements by the end of the Orientation program will not be admitted and will be assigned to a different First-Year Program.
