About these student measures The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns. University of North Georgia brings together a broad undergraduate population that includes both Pell Grant recipients and people continuing college work begun elsewhere. 28.1% of its 16,146 undergraduates receive Pell Grants, and an estimated 22.5% enter as transfers or part-time students. This composition suggests that the public university serves students using federal grant aid alongside those arriving through a prior-college route. In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported 1,056 degree-seeking transfer applicants, 919 admitted, and 614 enrolled. These figures describe who attends through different routes, not admission priorities. In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported a first-year retention rate of 76% for the first-time, full-time fall 2024 entering class. The [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) for the first-time, full-time fall 2019 entering class was 49.4%, with Pell recipients completing at 48.2%, slightly below the overall rate. The federal data for the first-time, full-time cohort shows a six-year graduation rate of 37.3%, well below the peer median of 65.0% for comparable institutions. First-year retention is 73.5%, against a peer median of 83.1%. Pell recipients in the federal cohort complete at 36.4%, 0.9 percentage points below the overall rate. An enrolled student should plan on a campus where completion rates trail the peer medians, and where the Pell completion rate closely tracks the overall figure. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
