Augusta University recognizes First-Gen Week starting Nov. 8
Augusta University plans to celebrate first-generation Jags the entire week of Nov. 8, launching with a co-hosted event.
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!
∗NOTE - All fees are non-refundable.

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 after you have confirmed
your acceptance. You must complete the online welcome prior to being able to register
for your orientation date.
2. Orientation- You'll have the opportunity to participate in orientation either virtually
or in person (1 or 2 day).
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 which will culminate with Convocation. The first
day of classes for the Fall term is on August 17, 2022 which also kicks off Weeks
of Welcome.

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.
Donations will be distributed to local Title I elementary schools in Richmond County, ensuring all supplies benefit students from low-income families.
As we prepare to welcome new freshmen to Jaguar Nation in Fall 2021, here are a few words of advice (and encouragement) from students who’ve been there.
