Becoming a UNC Bear

2. Tell Us Your Plans!

Students who wish to request to defer admission to a future term must first tell us your plans and pay the deposit/request a waiver before requesting to defer.

The confirmation deposit for undergraduate students is $200 and can be paid online. After submission of the Tell Us Your Plans form you'll see a payment link appear in your portal.
Students who requested a need-based application fee waiver will automatically receive a deposit waiver. Or, students who qualify can request a waiver when telling us your plans.

Apply for Housing
The Housing Application for Fall 2024 opened Friday, December 1, 2023. Housing placements are made on a first-come, first-serve basis so the earlier you submit your contract, the better your priority group and the earlier you can enter the room selection process.
To access the Housing & Dining Contract and room selection process, you'll need to first setup your student Ursa Account and submit the decision form confirming your plans to enroll. After you've complete the confirmation process (including deposit or waiver), please allow at least 24-48 hours for systems to update.
Incoming new students will choose from a variety residential learning communities and a residence hall options. As you consider what's the right choice for you and your family, view the UNC Housing Guide.

After you have submitted the decision form and made your plans official, an important next step is to sign-up for New Student Orientation (NSO). NSO sessions are strongly encouraged for admitted students and are held through June and July. Registration begins in March and you can sign up in the admitted student portal.
Orientation is free to attend and parents/support persons are encouraged to join. As a students-first university, UNC is committed to supporting your journey and that starts with setting you up for success through our New Student Orientation (NSO) programs.
