From Wiregrass to UGA-Tifton

Meet with a Wiregrass One-Stop or program advisor and explain that you want to use the UGA-Tifton transfer agreement. Early planning matters because the agreement identifies specific associate-degree routes and degree-specific coursework.

• Identify UGA-Tifton as your intended transfer destination.
• Ask whether Occupational Studies or Interdisciplinary Studies best fits your plan.
• Contact UGA-Tifton before you are close to graduation.

The Wiregrass agreement provides a route into three UGA-Tifton B.S.A. programs.

• Agribusiness
• Agricultural Education
• Agriscience and Environmental Systems

The published agreement covers Wiregrass graduates with associate degrees in Occupational Studies or Interdisciplinary Studies. Use the UGA-Tifton degree-specific course map to choose transferable coursework that supports the intended major.

• Work with Wiregrass to select the appropriate associate-degree route.
• Use the UGA-Tifton Degree-Specific Transfer Pathways page for course equivalencies.
• Verify substitutions before registration; not every technical course will automatically apply to the UGA degree.

Before you apply, make sure you meet the University of Georgia transfer consideration requirements for the Tifton campus.

• 60 or more completed hours of transferable credit by the application deadline.
• A 3.00 or higher calculated transfer GPA.
• High school graduation at least 12 months before the intended UGA enrollment term.
• At least one year of college completed by the start of the intended UGA enrollment term.
• Program-specific curriculum requirements and program coordinator authorization for Tifton.

Do not wait until you have finished your current program to discover that you are missing a prerequisite. When you are approaching the final year – ideally around 45 to 50 transferable hours – review your record with your current advisor and UGA-Tifton.

• Confirm your intended UGA-Tifton major.
• Review completed and planned coursework.
• Identify missing prerequisites.
• Confirm that you are on pace for 60+ transferable hours and the required GPA.
• Identify the UGA semester in which you plan to enroll.

When you are eligible, complete the UGA transfer application for the Tifton campus. Submit all required materials by the current deadline.

• Complete the UGA transfer application and required statement or application components.
• Submit official transcripts from every college or university attended.
• Pay the application fee or use an approved fee waiver if eligible.
• Select the Tifton campus and the appropriate UGA-Tifton major.
• Use the UGA Admissions deadlines page for the current Tifton application deadline.

Once admitted, UGA-Tifton will guide you through the final transition into your UGA degree program.

• Confirm your enrollment and complete required UGA next steps.
• Meet with your UGA-Tifton academic advisor.
• Attend required UGA-Tifton orientation before classes begin.
• Review how your transferred coursework applies to the degree.
• Register for your first UGA courses and begin the upper-division portion of your program.
