University Center Annex Assembly Room

The Orientation Session is designed to provide you with critical and timely information to help you to get off to a successful start in the Graduate School at UNCP.

As stated in the UNCP Academic Catalog: “All degree seeking graduate students are strongly encouraged and expected to attend the scheduled orientation session during their first semester of enrollment. Students are held responsible for knowing and understanding the information provided during orientation sessions.” You should make plans to attend.

The orientation session will include an overview of important Graduate School policies and procedures (ignorance definitely is not bliss!), timely information about financial aid, and an introduction to library services that will make your research projects so much easier to complete.  Various University administrators will be on hand to greet the group.

The Graduate School office will be open to help you with setting up your student accounts and with registration. This office is located in room 124 of Lindsay Hall, which is across Odum Street/Prospect Road from the main campus. The street address is 200 N. Odum Street, Pembroke, NC 28372. (You will see Lindsay Hall on the right side after you pass Kentucky Fried Chicken and Berea Baptist Church.)

Numerous University offices that are normally open only during the regular work week will be open until approximately 3:00 p.m. Some of these include the Financial Aid Office, the Cashiers Office, Student Accounts, Business Services (for student IDs: BravesOne Card), Campus Police (for parking permits), and the UNCP Bookstore.

The staff of the Graduate School and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 8:50!
