From ABAC to UGA-Tifton

Start the conversation early. Tell your ABAC advisor that you intend to transfer to UGA-Tifton and identify the UGA major you are considering. Then contact UGA-Tifton so both sides of the plan are clear.

• Do this well before your final ABAC semester.
• Bring your current academic record and a list of courses you plan to take.
• If you are undecided among UGA-Tifton majors, ask for help comparing the options.

UGA-Tifton currently offers four undergraduate degree-completion programs. Your intended major determines which foundational courses matter most before transfer.

• Agribusiness
• Agricultural Education
• Agriscience and Environmental Systems
• Biological Science

Because ABAC is a University System of Georgia institution, completed general-education core coursework has a strong transfer framework. Even so, students should use UGA Transfer Credit Equivalencies and confirm major prerequisites before registering.

• Use the UGA Transfer Credit Equivalencies tool to check specific ABAC courses.
• Prioritize courses that satisfy both transfer credit and the requirements of your intended UGA major.
• Ask before substituting a course that appears similar but has not been confirmed as equivalent.

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.

• 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.
