Reserve your spot for New Student Orientation

  • All students are required to attend New Student Orientation (NSO) prior to starting courses at Charlotte.

  • Students will complete their Pre-Orientation Checklist, including your New Student Modules and Virtual Advising and Registration, prior to attending your in-person session.
  • Note: Students who are earning a second bachelor’s degree and/or are enrolling in the Summer I term are not required to attend NSO but must contact their academic department to schedule an advising appointment before registering for classes.
Submit important academic documents to Charlotte

  • Final college transcripts
    • Submission of transcripts is required if you are currently enrolled in college.
    • Admission to the University is conditional on your satisfactory completion of courses. Our office may rescind admission for students who do not maintain a 2.0 GPA.
    • Evaluations of transfer credit cannot be completed until we receive your final official college transcript(s).
  • Residency certification number
    • If you claimed North Carolina residency on your application, and have not already done so, please complete the residency process with the Residency Determination Service to receive your residency certification number (RCN). Provide your RCN to Undergraduate Admissions as soon as possible to ensure the correct tuition rate reflects on your bill.
    • For residency questions, please contact the Residency Determination Service at 1-844-319-3640 or visit NC Residency.
Upload your immunization records and submit optional health insurance waiver

  • Students are required to have proof of immunization and health insurance.
  • Upload your immunization records to the Student Health Center portal prior to attending NSO.
    • Note: High school transcripts most often do not contain the complete history required by the Student Health Center. Undergraduate Admissions is not able to transfer copies of high school transcripts to the Student Health Center.
  • Visit the Student Health Center website to learn more about insurance options for students or how to submit a waiver if you plan to remain on your own insurance.
Review credits transferred to Charlotte and math placement information

    • Math placement levels are assigned to you based on your official SAT or ACT math scores or by completing UNC Charlotte’s Math Placement Assessment.

    • If you have not been assigned a math placement level, do not have transferable math credit or wish to increase your math level, you are required to complete the Math Placement Assessment prior to completing course registration as part of New Student Orientation. Learn more about math placement and locating your assigned level.
