After You Enroll
I came to Carolina for the people and the sense of community. We help each other here. My success is not deterred by someone else’s success.

- Test scores. If you’d like college credit by exam, send us your official test scores via the respective testing service. You can see if your scores qualify for credit and then after we’ve received your scores, check ConnectCarolina to verify your credit has been properly awarded.
- Honor code. If you’ve had any school-based disciplinary incidents or criminal charges, excluding any that have been expunged, since applying for admission, email us at honorcode@admissions.unc.edu.It’s rare that we’ve had to revoke an offer of admissions as a result. However, not letting us know in a timely manner may affect your decision.
