Detailed regulations on service animals can be found on the ADA Requirements (Service Animals) website. 
 
Live Coverage: For those fans unable to attend games on campus, the Nighthawk Sports Network will have full coverage through live statistics and video. Links for all games can be found on each sport's respective schedule page.

Digital Programs: North Georgia Athletics has transitioned from print to digital game day programs for all home events. Fans can see all of the information commonly found in print at events with a scan of a code from their phone, including rosters, schedules, results and statistics. Our digital game experience is presented by Northeast Georgia Health System, the official healthcare partner of UNG Nighthawk athletics and is part of our commitment to a safe, healthy and paperless game environment.
