The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
First Year Student Orientation Registration is Open

Welcome to Carolina! Learn about campus and Chapel Hill

The following was sent to incoming students via email in August 2025.

Welcome, Tar Heels! We’re excited you’re here as part of the largest class ever. You can keep up with University news, announcements and events in The Well newsletter, which you’ll receive every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning.

As you get settled on campus, you’ll get a few special editions with information to help you acclimate to life at Carolina. This includes stories about professors and your classmates, advice from recent graduates and discounts and perks that come with being a Tar Heel.

To start, we’ll introduce you to campus and Chapel Hill. If you have story ideas or questions, email us at thewell@unc.edu.
