Welcome to North Georgia!

North Georgia College & State University is committed to assisting new students in making a successful transition into college and to retaining those students from initial matriculation through graduation. We have a number of programs in place to ensure students' success.

To help achieve this goal, the university encourages students to participate in INTRO, Learning Communities, the Common Reading Program, and UNIV 1000, a two-semester-hour course which helps students make a successful transition into college life by teaching them both academic and personal success skills, by introducing them to various resources at the university, and by providing mentoring opportunities with faculty and staff.
