Part-time Classroom Studies General Application Instructions

The following general information and instructions may be helpful to you when filling out the application. If you have any questions, please call our office at (919) 966-3621 (Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm Eastern time).

Who Should Apply:

Part-time Classroom Studies (formerly Continuing Studies) is the academic program for part-time local adult students. Enrollment is limited to 8 credit hours each semester.

If you want to enroll part-time and you are a commuting student (a student living in this area for at least 6 months and for purposes other than attending school) and you do not have a baccalaureate degree, you may file this application.

Admission is limited. Students who have been away from a traditional school setting for at least one year and full-time UNC-CH faculty/staff employees are considered. Traditional students who have been denied full-time admission to the University are not admitted to Part-time Classroom Studies.

Do not complete this application if:

you were enrolled as a Part-time Classroom Studies student within the past three years and have not attempted course work at another institution since your last enrollment. Request a readmission application from Part-time Classroom Studies.
you were last enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at UNC-CH and you did not graduate. Request a readmission application from the Office of Undergraduate Admission, CB#2200 Jackson Hall, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-2200, (919) 966-3621 or use the online readmission application.
you already have an undergraduate degree. Request a post-baccalaureate application from Part-time Classroom Studies.

Deadlines

Notification is based on the assumption that you have supplied all necessary transcripts, test information, and required documentation to complete your file.

Completed Application in our office by:

December 1 for Spring Semester

July 20 for Fall Semester

What You Are Applying For:

You are applying for part-time admission; you may register for a maximum course load of eight credit hours per semester on a space available basis. You may choose from any daytime or evening courses. All course work carries degree credit. Most of the University's academic support services, such as the library, are available to Continuing Studies students; however, social, athletic, health, and similar non-academic services are not available.

Students admitted to Part-time Classroom Studies are classified as degree-seeking or non degree seeking. Degree-seeking status requires a 2.0 ("C") average based on UNC-CH computation for course work taken at UNC-CH or outside this institution. Applicants must be eligible to return to all previously attended institutions.

Admission to Part-time Classroom Studies does not imply admission to an undergraduate degree program. Grades earned in summer school and Part-time Classroom Studies will go toward the student's UNC-CH grade point average, not the student's GPA for grades earned outside UNC-CH.

We suggest making a copy of the Online Part-time Classroom Studies Application after you have filled it out, but before you submit it. You should also make an extra copy of the Confirmation Page that you will be sent. You will then have a copy for your records if problems arise with your application.

The application fee is $70. This non-refundable application fee must be sent with your Confirmation Page. We do not accept cash. A personal check or money order must contain the Applicant's full name and date of birth. There will be a $25 service charge on all returned checks.

Important! - Once you SUBMIT the Online Application or Residency form you cannot return to the pages and make corrections. So please take a minute and review your information before you submit it. If you do have to make corrections, call Undergraduate Admissions at (919) 966-3621.

Step Two:

Once you have completed the Online Application, mail all of the following items to Undergraduate Admissions.

Please do not send original documents!

Please note that it is the applicant's responsibility to supply Undergraduate Admissions with all of the items listed below and a decision cannot be given until all information is received in our Office.

Signed Confirmation Page - (For the Application and Residency Form)
$70 Application Fee - (Check or money order)

Applicants interested in being admitted as degree-seeking must also submit the applicable items listed below:

*Official High School Transcript - (Grades 9-12. See instructions below)
*Official College Transcript(s) - (See Instructions below)
Courses in progress - (For the current year, including course numbers, number of credit hours, and brief course title.) If you are not enrolled in courses this academic year, please tell us.
Official SAT I/ACT Scores - (Unless you have been out of school for five years or more) Sent directly from the College Board or ACT Program.
High school students need to send a letter of permission form their high school counselor.

*Request that your high school transcript(s) and your college transcript(s) (showing all previous attempted course work) be sent to you, which will allow you to enclose them directly with your completed application. (Of course, any subsequent transcripts showing completion of current year's courses should be mailed directly from each institution to us, as each term is completed.) Enclosing your transcripts (with your application) will allow us to process your application more quickly and efficiently. For us to consider your transcripts as "official", you must leave them in the sealed envelope, just as it comes to you through the mail from each institution. Do not open the envelope containing the transcripts if you want us to consider them "official". If you choose to send transcripts that have been opened by you, we reserve the right to request an "official" transcript from you, which can delay our decision. However, if the college(s) or high school(s) will only send transcripts directly to us, we will process them separately.

Send transcripts to:

Undergraduate Admissions; CB#2200 Jackson Hall; UNC-CH; Chapel Hill, NC 27599-2200
