Information About Orientation

Dates and Sessions

Students attend the orientation session for the college that hosts their major. For example, students with a major in Biology would attend the session for the College of Natural & Health Sciences. See the complete list of colleges and their majors.

Students declared Pre-Business and Exploratory - Seeking Business should attend sessions for exploratory students.

UNC manages the enrollment in freshmen level courses throughout the summer. No particular orientation session has a registration advantage over any other. Each session is allotted spaces for fall semester classes.
