UNC 2018 Transfer Student Thread

Registration for students who have 0 semesters in residence opens next Friday. You can plan your classes in connect Carolina at any time. You can build your schedule based on your degree pathway. If you’re not sure which classes you have will transfer, wait for the transfer credit report which generally is sent a week after acceptance. You should try and register quickly rather than wait some time because classes fill up fast. @transferdog

@transferdog Meet/Call an advisor. I know that is short, but that is honestly the best.

@HSstudentNC thank you. So I should just look at what the degree requirements for my degree are (BA in Psychology) and then enroll in whatever I need? Also, am I going to have to pay for classes right away or can I wait for my financial aid to come in? (Sorry, I’m new to this)

@electrobricks I want to do that but I can’t schedule an appointment with an advisor until I enroll and make my ONYEN (cuz I need a PID). and I’m just worried too much time will pass between when I get accepted and until I can get an appointment and then classes won’t be available.

I’m honestly not 100% sure. Check the link I had above regarding the first steps after acceptance as a transfer. @transferdog

Hey guys! Jumping on the train really late, applicant from NJ here. I already got into Tulane so I’m not that anxious… has anybody already been accepted

Decisions will be out tomorrow late afternoon/early evening. @TheLastofUs9

Do they also mail out decision letters and financial aid packages?

@AwkwardNewYorker I believe they do send out physical admission letters as well.

@HSstudentNC So, do all admissions decisions come out tomorrow, or…?

Yes. They will most likely be out sometime between 2 and 5. @AwakenMyLove

Just in case anyone isn’t caught up or is just now checking this thread. In the past 3 or so years, decisions came out the day after the preliminary email. The time of day for decisions has varied from about 2-5 PM Eastern time each year. We will get decisions tomorrow unless for some odd reason UNC decides to not do what they have been doing for years (release decisions 1 day after email).

Does everyone get decisions at the same time?

Decisions should be available at around the same time for everyone tomorrow. Connect Carolina may be slow due to many people checking their decisions, but it should be posted at the same time for everyone.

@HSstudentNC are you just going to be checking constantly all day tomorrow?? I’m trying to figure out if I’ll just check every 30 min starting at 2 pm or if I’ll just check constantly starting in the morning…

Decisions haven’t been released in the morning before, at least in years past. I’m probably going to check every couple minutes after 2 PM. @transferdog

How quickly do they send you an e-mail, after posting your decision? My other colleges sent it out immediately, so there was no point in checking the portal continuously.

Looking at the 2017 thread, there’s no mentions of emails saying their decision is ready, they just checked the portal.

Alright. Spamming f5 it is.

I do think they send an email, it’s just that it’s delayed like an hour or so after decisions first come out.
