Get Ready to Meet Your Advisor

Before your first advising appointment, make sure you’ve completed a few important steps. This helps your advisor give you the best support possible!

To-do before your meeting:

  • Submit your official high school and/or college transcripts (including those from dual- or concurrent-enrollment)
  • Send your AP, IB and/or CLEP scores test scores (if you have them)
  • Complete any placement exams
  • Upload your immunization records in the UNC Admissions Portal
  • Are you currently taking classes? Email your advisor a list of those courses
