Officer Transition Resources
It is important that outgoing officers relay information and resources to their successors in a timely and organized fashion. The student organizations team has compiled some resources into a Transition Guide that can be found at the bottom of this webpage for you to review. Some quick tips include but are not limited to:
- Update the names of all new officers on the organization’s Heel Life page
- Record all passwords, key contacts, or pertinent club business into one easy-to-follow document
- Inform new officers of any outstanding commitments, projects, or goals
Weekly Newsletter
The student organizations section within the student life weekly newsletter provides student leaders and student organizations with opportunities that are offered on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus and the surrounding local communities. The opportunities that organizations can offer are not limited. Examples of opportunities that we have seen are leadership development, leadership positions, resource fairs, funding/grant awards, and more.

On-Campus Mailboxes
Student organizations can request a mailbox which is located on the 2nd floor of the annex in the FPG Student Union. You will need to submit a Mailbox Request Form by clicking here. We will then review the form and be in touch to set up a quick 10 minute meeting so that we can ensure the mailbox is functioning properly and you have the necessary details.
Your Organization’s Name
If you would like to update your organization’s name at any point during the year, please submit a student organization name change request.. This is done through Heel Life and the primary contact of the organization should be the individual making the request. SLL staff will review and approve the request and update your organization’s name on Heel Life.
Why do I need to submit a form to update my organization’s name?
In addition to SLL staff reviewing your request, event services and your account with the Carolina Union business office will also be able to review the request and update their records accordingly. This will ensure that your organization is recognized throughout all three of our offices and that our records are current and accurate.
