General & Enrollment Information
THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA SEEKS TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT SUITABLE FOR PROMOTING THE SYSTEMATIC PURSUIT OF LEARNING.
To ensure this primary goal, the University requires of its students reasonable academic progress. The retention of those students who repeatedly demonstrate a lack of ability, industry, maturity, and preparation would be inconsistent with this requirement.
Undergraduate Students will be evaluated each semester on the basis of cumulative grade point average and the total number of hours attempted. Hours transferred will be included in determining the total hours attempted; however, the cumulative grade point average will be computed only on the work completed at West Georgia (institutional grade point average (GPA)). The academic standing for a semester is not adjusted when a course taken that semester is subsequently repeated during a later semester and the first grade earned is removed from the calculation of the grade point average. For more information, please review the Undergraduate Catalog.
Graduate Students will be evaluated each semester based on the requirements outlined in the Graduate Catalog.
Students are required to notify the Momentum Center of all address changes. Changes can be made on Self-Service Banner or by completing an Address Change Application. For assistance please visit the Registrar's Office Personal Information Webpage.
Student ID cards are made in the Wolves Card Office located in the University Community Center (UCC), Top Floor, from 8 am until 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
University of West Georgia students are provided a MyUWG e-mail account which will be identified in Self-Service Banner as the preferred email account. The University considers this account to be an official means of communication between the University and the student. The purpose of the official use of the student e-mail account is to provide an effective means of communicating important university related information to UWG students in a timely manner. It is the student’s responsibility to check his or her email.
