Incoming Students for Spring 2026 : Register for Spring Orientation

Weeks of Welcome

Stay up-to-date with Weeks of Welcome (WOW) events by exploring Heel Life, our go-to site for events, organizations, and involvement at UNC-Chapel Hill. This is where you’ll find where official Carolina WOW events, RSVP, and be able to save events that interest you. These are designed with incoming Tar Heels in mind, for a safe and fun welcome experience. Stick with Heel Life for trusted events, and team up with new friends to make the most of Weeks of Welcome. 

Check out the WOW Instagram @unc_wow for daily postings and advertising of all WOW events. Be sure to check Heel Life before these events as information is subject to change.

Heads up: An event promoted by “Level Up” on Instagram and online isn’t connected to UNC-Chapel Hill or our Weeks of Welcome. We can’t say for sure if it’s a scam, but it’s not an official Carolina event.
