Orientation

It may be summertime, but the Carolina Union is full of activity each week thanks to UNC Orientation. In partnership with the Office of New Student & Carolina Parent Programs, the Union will host all first-year and transfer students along with parents and families throughout June, July, and August.
First-year students spend two days preparing for success at Carolina – meeting with academic advisors, learning about campus resources, and becoming more familiar with their new home. Transfer students pack this all into one day, while still getting a comprehensive look at life at UNC. The students aren’t the only ones getting acclimated though; parents and families have their own full schedule of presentations and tours to enjoy.
The Carolina Union hopes to make all orientation visitors feel welcome and comfortable. If you need directions or special assistance, please visit the Orientation Help Desk or Carolina Union Info Desk on the second floor near the West Lounge. See our maps for other resources.
