Adult Students Admission Program (ASAP)
Adult students, 24 years of age or older who have been out of school for five or more years and present appropriate educational credentials, are encouraged to make an application through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. This unique program offers adults the opportunity for special admissions status, an academic advisor through the Office of Adult Students and Extended Services (OASES), and adult transitional support services throughout the first two years of their enrollment. Students who declare a major are advised through their major department.
New Student Orientation (NSO)
New Student Orientation (NSO) occurs during the summer and immediately prior to the Fall and Spring semesters. Led by a team of dedicated staff and student leaders, NSO prepares students and families to succeed at UNC Charlotte by understanding academic expectations, developing connections with their peers, and learning about important campus processes. Learn more at New Student Orientation.
Niner Guides
Part of Undergraduate Admissions, Niner Guides are the University’s official tour guides. Being a Niner Guide is more than just giving tours, it is sharing your love of the University with prospective students and their families when they visit our beautiful campus. Program benefits include: volunteer experience, priority class registration for active guides who fulfill tour requirements, leadership and personal growth opportunities, and public speaking and communication skills. Learn more at Undergraduate Admissions.
Office of Adult Students and Extended Services (OASES)
The Office of Adult Students and Extended Services (OASES) is dedicated to empowering adult learners and supporting their successful re-entry and completion of degrees at the university. OASES collaborates with academic units to develop effective strategies for readmission and re-enrollment, particularly for students who have previously stopped out. OASES strives to connect all adult and readmitted students with essential campus resources, guiding them in developing academic and career goals, and ultimately supporting their timely graduation.
