Applicants seeking to study at the Athens Campus can only do so during the summer term.

  • You will not be assigned an advisor or have your credit from other schools evaluated
  • You will not have to attend New Student Orientation
  • The Terry College of Business does not admit transient students
  • Transient students are not eligible for financial aid from UGA

How to Apply
