A Time Ticket tells you when you are able to register for classes. Your time ticket depends on your student classification. Seniors have an earlier Time Ticket than Freshman. Online classes tend to fill, so to ensure that you get the classes you need, please register as soon as your Time Ticket allows.

Blackboard is UNC Pembroke’s official Course Management System (CMS). This is the system in which you will attend “class” in the online environment.  Once you have explored all of the above resources, you should participate in the Blackboard Orientation. For access to the orientation, go to blackboard.uncp.edu. Normally you use your UNCP username and password to login, but to access the orientation use “uncpguest” as both the username and password. Once you login, click on (01'TLC) Student Orientation to get into the orientation course.

The US Department of Education’s “Program Integrity” regulation requires higher education institutions to comply with state approval or licensure requirements in each state where distance education is delivered.  Consistent with this US DOE mandate, a student has the right to file a complaint against an institution if he or she feels that these requirements are not being followed.  Therefore, institutions are required to provide students with the appropriate contact information for filing complaints.  To file a complaint about the University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s distance education program, you may contact the appropriate agency in your home state: State Agencies Handling Distance Learning Complaints
For complaints regarding a violation of accreditation policies, you may contact the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges  (SACSCOC).  For such a complaint, you must use the appropriate SACS complaint form Commission’s Complaint Form (PDF), and send two print copies to:  President, SACSCOC. 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097.  Students are required to familiarize themselves thoroughly with the UNC Pembroke Student Handbook and UNCP catalog which both include campus policies for handling complaints.  You are expected to exhaust these internal options before escalating your complaint to the state or accrediting agency.
