THE UNIVERSITY 5 CORE VALUES
/// HONESTY
An academic community of integrity advances the quest for truth and
knowledge by requiring intellectual and personal honesty in learning,
teaching, research, activities, and service. Cultivating honesty lays
the foundation for lifelong integrity, developing in each of us the courage and insight to make difficult choices and accept responsibility for
actions and their consequences, even at a personal cost.
/// FAIRNESS
An academic community of integrity establishes clear standards,
practices, and procedures and expects fairness in the interactions of
students, faculty, and administrators. For students, important components of fairness are predictability, clear expectations, and a consistent and just response to dishonesty. Faculty and administrators also
have a right to expect fair treatment, not only from students but also
fromcolleagues and the administration.
/// TRUST
An academic community of integrity fosters a climate of trust, encourage the free exchange of ideas, and enables all to reach their highest
potential. Only with trust can we believe in and rely on others and
move forward as a community. Within an environment of trust, we
can collaborate with individuals, sharing information and ideas without fear that our work or property will be stolen, our career stunted,
or our reputations diminished. Though trust, our communities can
believe in the social value and meaning of an institutions’ scholarship
and degrees.
/// RESPECT
An academic community of integrity recognizes the participatory
nature of the learning process and honors and respects a wide range
of opinions, ideas, and cultures.
/// RESPONSIBILITY
An academic community of integrity upholds personal accountability
and depends upon action in the face of wrongdoing. Every member of an acadmic community -- each student, faculty member, and
administrator -- is responsible for upholding the integrity of the the
community.

UNCG WELCOMES
VETERANS,
ACTIVE MILITARY
& RESERVES
We’re proud to have you here at UNCG and hope
you’ll take advantage of many of the special programs
and services just for you.
UNCG grants 6 hours of transfer credit for completing basic
training.
There are designated on-campus personnel in key offices and
departments including the Chancellor’s Office, Registrar’s Office,
Admissions, and Student Affairs who serve as liaisons for militaryaffiliated students.
The Veterans Networking Program pairs current UNCG military
students with new military and veteran affiliated students to
enhance the support experience through regular contact and
resource referral.
The Student Veteran Association is a student organization that
provides peer support, social activities, and raises awareness of
military/veteran student issues on campus.
There are a wide range of Spartan community activities to support
the military, such as Veterans Day Remembrance events, fundraising for military families in need, care packages sent to deployed
students, and more.
UNCG was awarded the “Military Friendly School” designation by GI Jobs
magazine for two consecutive years, placing it in the top 15% of colleges,
universities and trade schools working to embrace veterans as students.
In addition, UNCG was designated “Best for Vets” by Military Times Edge
magazine in 2013, and was the only public university in NC on the list.
