General Policies
To register for any course, you (the student) will be required to acknowledge that you agree to all SLIG policies and will abide by them. Please read all SLIG policies carefully.
Registration Account
To register for any SLIG course or event (including addition to a waiting list), you must have a registration account. You may set up this account at any time prior to registering. Only one account is required to register for any SLIG course or event. If your account is not working for any reason, please reach out to info@ugagenealogy.org for assistance rather than creating another account.
Notes on the UGA/SLIG 2025 website update:
UGA Member accounts were transferred to the new website. The first time you log in to the site, you will need to click forgot password and create a new password. Please do not create a new account.
Non-UGA members’ accounts did not transfer to the updated website in Spring 2025. If you registered for SLIG without joining UGA, you will create an account as a new user. You are not required to join UGA to create a user account or register for a SLIG course.
In your account, you can review and update your contact information. We ask that you review and update your account information each year to ensure it is current.
UGA Membership Discounts (rev. May 2025)
If your UGA membership is active at the time of registration, you are entitled to a discount of 10% on each course.
If you do not have a membership, you can purchase a UGA membership at https://ugagenealogy.org/membership-levels.
Please contact the SLIG registrar at registrar@slig.ugagenealogy.org in writing for all registration or discount-related matters.
Disability Services
Reasonable accommodations will be provided for persons with disabilities. Please contact the SLIG Registrar in writing at registrar@slig.ugagenealogy.org to provide detailed information about your requirements. Notification of specific needs must be received no later than three weeks prior to any program. A SLIG Committee member may contact you for further details.
