Orientation and Advising - ACADEMIC ADVISING
Many of the majors in the College of Education have high demand (HD) status and require students to submit an application and/or meet other requirements for admittance into the major. Every student has “intended major” status until they are admitted into a major. Admission into UGA does not guarantee admittance into your major.
