Transcript Check your transcript by logging on to Athena with your UGA MyID at athena.uga.edu. If you do not see your most recent courses, send an official signed, sealed copy of your transcript to Admissions. Keep an unofficial copy for use during your advising appointment. Placement tests You may need math or language tests to register for certain classes. You can register for placement testing here. Course evaluation If any of your courses came in with a "1TXX", you may want to request evaluation for UGA credit. Your academic advisor will provide you a link to UGA's online transfer course evaluation tool, through which you will submit your course syllabi for evaluation. Note: departments reserve the right to limit the number of courses they will accept in the major, and some departments may not accept any transfer courses. Course availability Your first choice courses may already be filled by orientation. Be prepared with additional course options. If you are considering a minor, your first semester at UGA may be a good time to begin minor coursework. You can find information on majors, minors and certificate programs at bulletin.uga.edu . You can also see which courses are being offered in any single semester by going to reg.uga.edu/schedule-of-classes and choosing the appropriate semester’s schedule of classes. Time to graduation Some majors have a rigid structure and, because courses in the track are only offered during certain semesters, may take longer to complete than expected. Check your department’s website for information about degree programs and schedules. Some majors require a specific GPA and entrance requirements.
