Some good news has arrived for many high school seniors waiting to hear from the University of North Georgia (̨Íåswag) about their admission for fall 2022. First-year bachelor's degree-seeking students applying for fall semester admission may be admitted without an ACT or SAT score provided their high school GPA is 3.0 or higher.

A change in testing policy from the University System of Georgia provided this opportunity to assist students who have faced testing obstacles during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Applicants who have previously applied for admission for the fall will be reevaluated according to the new admission criteria. Students must still meet all other admissions requirements, including completing the required high school curriculum and providing all other requested documentation.

"These changes will make it possible for many students to receive their admission decision now so they can sign up for an orientation date, submit their request for class schedules, and make housing reservations. We are entering the time when these next steps need to happen, but students can't do any of those until they have been accepted," Dr. Brett Morris, associate vice president for Enrollment Management, said. "We are pleased with USG's decision to break the backlog that testing delays have created. Getting students admitted under these new rules is our top priority."

Bachelor's degree-seeking students with a GPA lower than 3.0 are still required to submit an official ACT or SAT score as part of their application process. Individuals seeking dual enrollment admission will also still be required to submit test scores. However, ̨Íåswag has added the Accuplacer exam as a dual enrollment admissions testing option.

̨Íåswag admissions counselors are available to assist applicants and prospective students via phone and email.

̨Íåswag is designated as a State Leadership Institution and The Military College of Georgia. With almost 19,000 students, it is one of the state's largest public universities.

Positioned in the fastest-growing region of the state, ̨Íåswag comprises five campuses united by a single mission focused on academic excellence and academic and co-curricular programs that develop students into leaders for a diverse and global society.
