An applicant who has not attended high school within the previous five years AND has earned fewer than 30 semester hours of transferable credit may apply to North Georgia as a non-traditional student. GED recipients who would have graduated from high school 5 or more years ago are eligible for admission under this category.
A student who wishes to apply as a non-traditional student must submit the following:
- Application for Undergraduate Admission with $30 non-refundable application fee
- Official high school transcript noting date of graduation or official copy of GED certificate
- Official college transcript(s), if applicable
- Official SAT or ACT scores, if available*
- Non-traditional students who are transferring from a college must also meet our transfer admission criteria
- Applicants who are U.S. citizens and were born outside the U.S. must submit proof of U.S. citizenship
- Applicants who have been granted permanent U.S. residency must submit proof of permanent residency
- Applicants seeking F-1 or J-1 visas must complete the International Student Application
- Prior to enrolling a student must submit a North Georgia Certificate of Immunization, showing proof of immunization as required by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
*Official SAT or ACT scores are encouraged but not required for admission. Those who do not submit test scores must take a placement exam before registering for classes and may be placed in a learning support program.
