How to Register

For daytime courses

Students can view course descriptions and class numbers by clicking on “class search” at registrar.unc.edu. When you are ready to register, you will need your Onyen and the Class Number for the course. Log in to Connect Carolina through my.unc.edu and choose your courses. Registration is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For evening courses

Evening courses are available in fall and spring semesters, not in summer sessions.

  • Students can view course descriptions and class numbers by clicking on “class search” at registrar.unc.edu. Click "Additional Search Criteria."
  • Scroll down to the dropdown boxes:
    • under Session, select "Session F"
    • under Mode of Instruction, select "Face to Face Instruction."
  • Then click "Search."  You will be presented with a list of courses in this category. Evening courses offered through Part-time Classroom Studies are designated as Section 951. To view a course description, click on the "Section" link to view the course description. When you find a course you want to register for, make a note of the Class Number listed in the course description; you will need that number to register.

When you are ready to register, you will need your Onyen and the Class Number for the course. Log in to Connect Carolina through my.unc.edu and choose your courses.

Billing

If you register during the billing period, Student Accounts will bill you via e-mail. If you register after the billing period, you may be required to pay Student Accounts first. For more information about the billing process, see How to Pay Your Tuition.

PIDs and ONYENs

PID

Your PID (Personal IDentification) is used to access various systems and services on campus. Your PID can be found at my.unc.edu or on your UNC One Card (nine digits starting with a 7).

Onyen

An Onyen (Only name you'll ever need) is the identifier you use to gain access to various electronic resources on campus. To obtain an Onyen, go to the Onyen Web site. You must create an Onyen (UNC e-mail account) in order to log in to my.unc.edu. Personal e-mail accounts cannot be used to log in.

UNC One Card

As an enrolled UNC-Chapel Hill student, you are required to have a UNC One Card. The purpose of the card is for identification and use of the libraries. It contains your nine-digit Person ID number or PID. In 1998, the PID replaced the Social Security number as a means of identification.

Your UNC One Card will be deactivated if you withdraw, cancel, or fail to enroll for a particular semester. Upon re-entry to UNC-Chapel Hill, your card will be reinstated for identification purposes and library use for that semester.

If you have purchased a recreation membership, your UNC One Card can be used to access the gym and pool.

UNC One Card Office
Room 210 Daniels Building
Hours: Monday-Friday, 7:30 am-5:30 pm
Hours are subject to change.

New Part-time Classroom Studies Students

Part-time Classroom Studies students who have registered for classes at UNC may obtain their UNC One Cards during the first week of the semester. You must take a copy of your course schedule and a photo ID (valid driver's license, state ID card, military ID, or passport) with you to the UNC One Card office. There will be a $15 card fee for all Part-time Classroom Studies students. You will receive your One Card immediately after your photo is taken.

Readmits

If your new PID number does not appear on your current UNC One Card, you will be required to get a new card made. You will be charged the $15 fee at that time.

Lost or Stolen Cards

If your card is lost or stolen, notify the UNC One Card office or the UNC police department immediately. You will be responsible for all activity generated by your card until it is reported missing. To get a replacement card, you will be charged $10.

Immunization Requirements

State law requires that any student taking four or more hours of classes on campus between 8 am and 5 pm must meet the immunization requirements listed on the Campus Health Services Web site. Students taking courses at a distance or off campus are exempt.

For more information, contact Campus Health Services at 919-966-2281.

Remaining Active

It is not necessary to attend in the summer in order to continue from spring to fall. If you do not register for a spring or fall semester, you must be readmitted. You are not considered an active student for these purposes if you are only enrolled in courses offered through Self-paced Courses or Carolina Courses Online and classified as a Visiting Student.
