From the University Leaders:

  • You are encouraged to speak with an academic advisor about any impact your choices might have for success in future courses or admissions to future programs. Academic Advisors are available to communicate with undergraduate students remotely.

 

  • UNC’s Learning Center has created a page to help you keep learning and finish strong this semester. The site also includes helpful strategies tailored to address specific needs and support your academic success at Carolina.

 

 

  • Campus Health remains open with staffing available to offer limited in-person appointments for acute illness. Please only visit Campus Health after calling first (919-966-2281) and scheduling an appointment.

 

  • Mental health can be a challenge during this global health emergency. These are stressful times and it makes sense to be anxious. There are things you can do to help yourself. Counseling and Psychological Services is open and making appointments via Zoom.
