The University of North Carolina at Charlotte welcomes summer visitors who wish to earn course credits toward their degree from another institution, for their professional advancement, or for their personal enrichment. The information below will help guide undergraduate visitors through the application process. Graduate students should refer to the Graduate School admissions information and may be eligible to take a graduate course as a non-degree student.
You need to submit a new application.
Summer visitors who already have a degree and are not enrolled in a degree program must visit the “post-bac” (Non-Degree) application. Students who already hold a baccalaureate degree are not eligible to apply as visiting students with Undergraduate Admissions.
Summer visitors who do not already have a degree and are not enrolled in degree programs at UNC Charlotte MUST complete an Online Application. The application fee is $75.00 and can be paid online in the form of a credit card or debit card.
NOTE: The online application is the same application that ALL students interested in coming to UNC Charlotte fill out. If you are a visiting student for the summer, please fill out the high school information to the best of your availability. High school transcripts are not required. Please see below for more important information about transcripts.
We recommend you apply at the start of the session since many courses quickly reach the maximum capacity. Admissions will take about 2 weeks to process your application; once your application is processed you will receive a letter with your username, ID number, and instructions on how to register for your classes. Visiting students can begin registering for classes beginning April 8, 2024.
The final application deadline for summer full term and first half term is May 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024 for summer second half term.
Admissions will not accept any applications (visitors, freshmen, second degree or transfers) for summer second half term after these dates.
Visiting Summer Students do not need to send a transcript with their admissions application. Please do not send transcripts to Admissions.
What if the course I want has prerequisites? Some departments will require that a transcript be sent directly to their office in order to allow you into a higher level class. To get information for contacting academic departments please click department contacts.
Students taking courses to transfer to another institution should be sure to follow the procedures of their “home” institution to confirm the applicability of specific UNC Charlotte summer term courses to their academic program. Visiting students should also arrange to have a transcript of their UNC Charlotte coursework sent to their home institution upon the completion of their summer term classes.
To assist you with your educational planning, the Office of Admissions has developed a course equivalency table, Undergraduate Admission Transfer Credit Advisor. If a course equivalency table does not exist for your institution, please speak with your home academic advisor for recommendations. To find courses that may be equivalent at your current institution, students can use the Course Catalogs to find descriptions for courses to confirm with their academic advisors at their “home” institution.
The registration is online using My UNC Charlotte. Click the “Need Help” link to activate your NinerNET account.
All would-be Summer School registrants receive a registration appointment date and time: this is the date and time after which you are free to register. Registration priorities are assigned to current students first, and then to visiting students. Applicants will be notified regarding the success of their application and the time and date assigned for registration.
