Great! You will receive instructions from your advisor on how to view your schedule three days prior to your orientation date.

We check our orientation rosters regularly, so you should feasibly receive your schedule via your UWG email account within 15-18 business days.

An academic advisor will build your schedule based on your chosen major, indicated preferences, and available seats. You will have an opportunity to indicate preferences for which days/times you take courses. Each course on your schedule will fulfill a requirement for your intended major and will be carefully chosen to allow you to progress in your chosen degree path.

You have time to meet with an advisor during your in-person orientation to discuss shifting your schedule if you have an extenuating circumstance (for example: your work schedule doesn’t permit a 2-3:15 Monday/Wednesday course). However, please be aware that seat availability can be limited at times, so your advisor may only be able to shift your schedule partially. Most of the time, students will be able to change 1-2 classes if absolutely necessary.

Dual Enrollment credit will be taken into consideration as we build your schedule. These credits will be received once you submit your transcript from the institution you attended. We cannot guarantee that every class you’ve taken will transfer over–you can check your previous institution’s transfer equivalencies with UWG here. Advanced Placement credit will not be considered until official scores are received from College Board. Once AP scores are confirmed, any necessary schedule adjustments will be made. You can find our AP score equivalents here.

It is recommended that if you have earned credit for a course, you note this on your blue sheet when completing your orientation confirmation.
