October is fall semester advisement month! Make sure to see your advisor for information about spring classes.

Registration for spring 2017 will be from October 31 to November 18 for continuing students (students who last attended spring 2016, summer 2016, and/or fall 2016) and will be based on student overall earned hours. Check your BANNER account for your specific registration time.

Certain courses require departmental approval to sign up. These classes include:

POLS 4460 – International Affairs Capstone
POLS 4470 – Senior Seminar in Political Science

To enroll in these classes, you must contact Andrew Eade (Andrew.eade@ung.edu) with your request to register.

It is important to take the time each semester to visit your advisor and make sure that you are following the correct plan of study. You can view your advisor assignment via Banner or contact Andrew Eade at (706) 864‑1628.

How do I know which courses to take?

All programs of study are listed on the department website. Our current plans of study can be found on the department website (http://ung.edu/political-science-international-affairs/undergraduate-degrees.php). Do not hesitate to visit your faculty advisor!

Can I CLEP classes?

Students cannot CLEP a class if they already have credit (any grade other than “W”) for the course, including any transfer credit. Please see the following webpage for specific courses eligible for CLEP credit at UNG: http://ung.edu/academic-affairs/policies-and-guidelines/clep-credits-granted-by-ung.php.

Remember:
POLS 1101, “American Government,” and POLS 2401, “Global Issues,” are prerequisites for upper-division courses in the department. Make sure to complete these introductory classes early in your academic career.

POLS 2101, “Introduction to Political Science,” is a prerequisite for POLS 3600, “Introduction to Social Science Research Methods.”

Students who entered UNG after the fall semester of 2011 must achieve a grade of “C” or higher in all courses within the major (including Area F). In addition, if a student adopts any plan of study after the fall of 2011, that student will be subject to the same policy. Please keep this in mind as the administration is phasing out the old NGCSU and GSC core curricula.
