Welcome, Prospective Transfer Students!

Nearly half of the students enrolled in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources are transfers from other institutions. The Warnell School admits students in two categories: pre-professional and professional students. Pre-professional students are students that are taking core courses either at UGA or at other institutions. Professional students are students that have completed the core curriculum and are ready to begin or are currently taking Forestry and Natural Resources (FANR, FISH, FORS, NRRT, WASR, or WILD) courses. Regardless of status, students wishing to enter Warnell must apply to UGA through Undergraduate Admissions. To enroll as a pre-professional student, be sure to indicate "Forestry and Natural Resources" as the school/college in which you plan to enroll.

Transfer of Credits

Students transferring from another college or university to the University of Georgia must submit official transcipts from those institutions to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Transcripts should be sent directly to Admissions by the issuing institution. You must submit all transcripts!

If a course is taken at another institution after you have been enrolled at UGA, you will need to have an official transcript sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions once your grades are received. It is very important to do this as soon as possible, since it can affect financial aid, prerequisites, grade point average, etc.

If you are not sure how or whether a course transfers to UGA, please contact Matt Head, Academic Advisor (706.542.1133) or view the Transfer Equivalency Website.
