1.       How do I get football tickets?

All UGA students will register for student season tickets (football, basketball, & gymnastics) online at georgiadogs.com. For convenience, add this following link to your favorites for student ticket information.

2.      What can I do with my UGA Card?

The UGA Card serves as an access card for residence halls, dining halls, and as a library card. If student fees are paid for the term, students can access (but are not limited to) Ramsey, obtain student discounts, ride Athens Transit buses for free, use the University Health Center, purchase athletic event tickets, use of residence hall laundry facilities, vending machines, on campus eateries, and much more.

3.      Where is my class?

When you print your schedule from OASIS, make sure you print the screen that has a number combination that looks like this  0000-0000. The first 4 digit combination corresponds with buildings and the second 4 digit combination is the room number in the building. Building numbers can be found in the back of the semesterly Schedule of Classes at the Tate Information Desk.

4.      How do I get advised?

You must first contact your school. If you have not declared a major (undecided), or are in a pre-professional program (i.e. pre-vet,  
pre-nursing, pre-med, etc.) you will probably need to contact the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences (542-3400). Each school/college has a specific advising procedure so call your particular school/college to find out more information. You MUST be advised in order to be cleared for registration.
