Listen: Get ready for fall semester with ‘In the Wild’ podcast
This month on the final "In the Wild" special of the summer, Daniel Browning, admissions counselor, shares his recommendations for all of our new Jags coming to campus this fall.
The mission of the Jaguar Nation Orientation and Welcome Program is to facilitate a positive transition into the Augusta University community.
By participating fully in the Jaguar Nation Orientation and Welcome Program, students and their families will have an opportunity to connect with campus resources, learn the culture and customs of Jaguar Nation, and leave confident in making the first steps towards a successful transition into the Augusta University community.
All new students are required to attend a Jaguar Nation Orientation and Welcome session!

Now that you've confirmed your plan to attend Augusta University here is what you
need to know and do to have a successful transition.
Reserve your Jaguar Nation Orientation & Welcome (Jag NOW). Completing the Jag NOW is a requirement of all incoming students and is the first step in getting registered for classes. Registration for Jag NOW will open in late March.
Jag NOW takes place in two parts:
1. Online Welcome- You'll receive access to your online welcome in June. You must
complete the online welcome prior to your orientation date. Failure to complete the
online welcome will result in having your orientation date rescheduled.
2. Orientation- You'll have the opportunity to participate in orientation either virtually
or in person throughout July.
After you've reserved your Jag NOW you'll be able to complete your NEW JAG survey.
Completing the NEW JAG survey will allow your Academic Advisor to begin creating a
customized schedule for your first semester. You will receive an email when your schedule
is ready for you to review. If there are any issues with the courses selected your
advisor will be available via phone or email to make any adjustments until you are
happy with your schedule.
Once you've completed your Jag NOW, we will be eagerly awaiting your arrival to campus!
The days leading up to the first day of class all students are highly encouraged to
participate in Extended Orientation, August 5-10, 2021 which will culminate with Convocation.
The first day of classes begin on August 11, 2021 which also kicks off Weeks of Welcome.
