Summer Start

If you are admitted to UNC Charlotte in fall, you may want to take advantage of the opportunity to enroll in a course offered in summer second half term.

Why?

Research on student success consistently supports the idea of making a start in the summer directly prior to the fall that follows it and cites the following advantages:

  • Focusing in summer on one or two courses at a time
  • Having credit hours under your belt before you begin the fall semester
  • Relieving the stress on your first-year academic load
  • Sampling college work and expectations
  • Learning to navigate the campus
  • Making new friends

How do I get started?

Once you have been accepted to UNC Charlotte, you should follow these simple steps:

  1. Email admissions (admissions@charlotte.edu); include your name, a piece of identifying information (date of birth, mailing address, student ID#, or something similar), and request to have your application moved to Summer Second Half Term.
  2. Sign up for New Student Orientation that is held before July, when you go to NSO you can sign up for your Summer School course.
