Transfer & Nontraditional Students
Welcome new Bears! We are excited to have you join the UNC community. During New Student Orientation, we:
-
- provide useful campus information
- connect you with a variety of available resources
- and have the opportunity to connect with other new and current UNC students
You will also be able to meet with an academic advisor and register for classes. After you have confirmed you're coming to UNC (by submitting your decision form), you will be able to find more information and next steps for New Student Orientation in your Admissions Portal. Attending an Orientation session is a great way to make your transition to UNC a successful one!
UNC's New Student Orientation and New Student Days will be in-person for all students starting Spring 2022.

both academically and socially to life at UNC. You will learn about various campus
resources, gain an understanding of UNC’s academic expectations, and participate in
social events including Convocation, a UNC tradition! During New Student Days, you
are sure to have a great time meeting fellow Bears and getting prepared for the start
of classes. Registration will be available soon!
