All new transfer students are encouraged to review the Transfer Enrollment Brochure for important steps you will need to complete to confirm your enrollment at Carolina and to ensure a smooth transition. Please review the 2012 Transfer Welcome Brochure that is sent with letters of admission. If you have any questions about next steps, don’t hesitate to contact the Office of New Student & Carolina Parent Programs at 919-962-8304 or newstudents@unc.edu.
As Soon as Possible
1. Create your ONYEN and UNC email account. The Onyen, which stands for the "only name you'll ever need" is your passport to your UNC email account and other UNC services. After creating your Onyen, the UNC Guest ID that you previously used to log into my.unc.edu will be deactivated. Instead, you'll log into my.unc.edu with your Onyen and new password. You will receive important information, including information about your financial aid award, through your UNC email account, which you'll be able to access through my.unc.edu after setting up your Onyen.
