Scheduling Dates for 2009-10 Academic Year  

Once we have processed your application, you will be notified via email as to which elective(s) we were able to schedule for you. Although housing is the responsibility of the student, there are people in the area of UNC Hospitals who rent out rooms in their homes for an additional charge. This information will be emailed to you if you are scheduled for an elective in Chapel Hill.
