Based on UNC System guidance and the latest information available regarding social distancing guidelines, all summer 2020 courses (May-August) will take place online. We are sorry for the disappointment this will cause in those of you who had been looking forward to living and learning on our campus this summer, but we assure you we will do everything possible to provide an engaging and dynamic online experience. If you have any questions after reading the below FAQ, please contact your academic advisor. As you may know, all summer programs, with the exception of Athletics camps, scheduled to take place through June 24 have been canceled. We will share an update by May 15 regarding Athletics camps and other summer programs. The Transition Programs team will communicate directly with students about changes to orientation plans.
 
We will continue to bring you updates as they are available. Thank you for your ongoing patience and cooperation.
