Get Set Saturday
An award-winning program for new adult and transfer students!
January 7, 2012
Welcome New Adult & Transfer Students!
The Office of Campus Activities & Programs (CAP) welcomes you to your first semester at UNCG. CAP knows how challenging it can be for adult students to return to the classroom after a break. We also understand the anxiety transfer students might feel wondering how they are going to learn about UNCG expectations and how to navigate another campus.
After your SOAR program, Get Set Saturday offers an additional occasion to meet staff members who are here to support UNCG students. This is also a great opportunity to start fresh and try new techniques to put you on the road to academic success at UNCG, as well as connect with other adult and transfer students.
