UOG Cares is part of the University of Guam's response to the needs of our students and reaffirms commitment to help our students reach their academic goals. UOG Cares provides students with support and solutions in the areas of finances, academics, and health & wellness.

Take that next step in your academic journey! The sooner you register, the more flexible your scheduling options.
All summer courses in Finakpo’ 2020 will be available entirely online. However, depending on the state of the island later this year, we will be ready to hold Fanuchånan 2020 courses in a number of different formats.

Our world class faculty have developed different course delivery options to suit your needs. You may work well from home or off-campus taking online classes or prefer the traditional face-to-face interaction, or you may want the best of both worlds in a hybrid format.

Coming soon!

Students will save up to 70% traditional textbooks and e-books with the Triton Store’s new Inclusive Access program through our partner Redshelf. Textbooks and other course materials will be delivered electronically to your preferred laptop or mobile device at the beginning of each semester. Printed textbooks and e-books will continue to be available. Now you’ll have even more options for your course materials!
UOG has partnered with Docomo Pacific and GTA on special rates for students.
