- 20. Who can registerfor UNC Online courses? Students currently enrolled as a degree-seeking student at any of the 16 universities* in the UNC system can cross-register for two online courses per semester through UNC Online. *UNC Chapel Hill does not fully participate in UNC Online registration. The UNC Online billing and registration process is slightly different for UNC-CH courses.
- 21. Do students needto meet with their advisor before registering? Yes. Students should meet with their advisor to confirm that the course they want to take from another institution will count toward their degree program.
- 22. How can studentsregister? It’s easy! They log into UNC Online with their campus credentials to search and register for courses. Let’s take a quick look at the search feature (http://courses.northcarolina.edu/).
- 23. Will my onlinecourses be automatically listed? Possibly… There is no separate UNC Online course catalog. All courses are passed into the UNC Online website directly from each campuses' registration system (Banner or PeopleSoft). The campus decides which online courses will be imported into UNC Online.
- 24. How can Ilist my course? If your online course is not listed in UNC Online, and you would like for it to be, contact your department head and registrar to request for the course to be added to the system.
- 25. How will Iknow if a student registers for my course? You will receive an automated email message and the student will be listed on your course roster.
- 27. How are gradeshandled? Grades are handled following the current transfer credit rules of your institution. Generally, as a rule, grades do not transfer. The grade at the host school is digitally conveyed automatically to the registrar at the home school, and they transfer it to the student record in Banner following their policies.
- 28. How are studentsbilled? If the student is a full-time UNC system student, there is no additional charge for courses that they register for through UNC Online (it is covered by the student's tuition just as if they were taking it at their home campus, and there is no ‘billing’ for it from the host school). If a student is a part-time UNC system student, they will pay the home campus hourly rate for the course, and it will be billed to their home campus. If there is a specific class that a student is interested in, they must check with the school’s registrar to confirm the course rate.

Editor's Notes
- #4 UNC Online roles & roles outside of UNC Online development & support
- #8 Our social media channels are used to reach prospective online students (in the system – courses; and new to the system – programs). We highlight our courses, programs, students and faculty.
- #11 37,000+ appointments per year
- #14 In short: there are many resources and techniques
- #21 -Students must be enrolled in a UNC system school to register for courses through UNCO (not available for employees). -At this time, NCSSM students cannot register for course through UNCO (might be a pilot in the future). -Students are required to register for online courses offered by their home campus through their home campus registration process.
- #22 -Student must acknowledge that they have met w/ advisor before submitting registration request. -The ‘Equivalency Finder’ can help students find courses that might be a good fit for them.
- #23 -The registration window must be open at the home campus and host campus. -Before registering for a course at another institution, students must meet with their advisor to ensure that the course they plan to take will meet specific requirements to transfer and count toward their degree program. -If prerequisites are required for a course, students are required to provide requ. information during the UNCO registration process. This information will be shared w/ the host institution and faculty member.
- #25 -Registrars can set seat limits for UNCO registration. -Registration windows can vary for UNCO (registrar can set). -Make request NOW (prior to registration window for next semester). -Monitor UNCO to ensure the course is listed and seats are available. -Registration is open according to the schedule of the host campus (the campus that offers the course). Typically, registration occurs for Fall between April and August, Spring between November and January, and Summer between March and May.
- #28 Elective hours only, no grade Requirement hours only (PSY1xxx), no grade Course equivalency, no grade Course equivalency with grade, no quality points (not calculated in GPA) Course equivalency with grade and quality points Numbers 4 and 5 are pretty rare, so as a rule, grades do not normally transfer. (Language Exchange classes are sometimes an exception)
- #29 -This information does not apply to UNC Chapel Hill courses. Please contact UNC Chapel Hill if you have questions about UNC-CH rates and billing. -The student’s home institution keeps the tuition portion of the funding, and the host institution receives the state appropriation part.
