UGA transfer orientation Transfer students accepted to UGA must attend UGA Transfer Orientation, where they will be advised and will register for classes. Professional vs. pre-professional Warnell admits students in two categories: pre-professional and professional students. Pre-professional students are students who are taking pre-professional core curriculum courses either at UGA or at other institutions and have not met the entrance requirements for the professional program. Professional students are students who have been accepted into the professional program after completing the entrance requirements. Some major-level courses are restricted to students in the professional program. To enroll as a professional student, you must also apply for the professional program.
