How to Apply
We encourage you to use our online application, which is secure and easy to follow. It also allows you to pay by credit card and gives you immediate confirmation that your application has been received. For your convenience, we will accept either a paper or an electronic application.
To start your application, log in to your UNC Portal. If you don't have a Portal, you can easily create one. Your UNC Portal is your gateway to Carolina--you'll be able to apply online, monitor a check-list of items required for your application, and view information about visiting campus and attending events for prospective students.
