Prior to orientation, submit your immunization record online via your Patient Portal (Medicat). New incoming students are required to provide a valid record of immunizations. Immunizations for enrollment should be obtained prior to coming to UNCP at a local physician’s office, health department, medical office or urgent care center. After you have registered for classes, complete the electronic health form online and accept or waive UNCP’s health insurance coverage. (This is not a requirement for students who are designated online-only program). Please note the insurance enrollment/waiver process will not be available until 72 hours after you have registered for classes. The immunization record, insurance enrollment/waiver and electronic health form can all be completed online via the Patient Portal (Medicat). If you have any questions about the health requirements, please feel free to call 910-521-6219. 

If you received college credit, please send an official transcript from the college prior to orientation. Please note that your high school transcript is not enough to grant college credit. Additionally, if you have taken any AP, CLEP or IB test, please submit your official test scores to Undergraduate Admissions for evaluation. For information concerning college credit, please contact the Admissions office at 910.521.6262. 

If you are a new student and you have not yet applied for in-state residency through the state-required Residency Determination Service electronic interview, ncresidency.org, please do so as soon as possible. This application will help to ensure that you receive the correct billing charges from the university. Upon completion, students will receive a Residency Certification Number (RCN). The RCN is an identifier tying your information to your residency application; this number alone does not mean you have received an eligible determination. Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 910.521.6262 or email at admissions@uncp.edu with any questions.

Once your residency application has been reviewed, you will receive an email (and text if you opt-in) from the Residency Determination Service (RDS) regarding the determination (in-state or out-of-state) or the status, i.e., need more information from you. If you receive an out-of-state determination and you do not agree with it, you may request a reconsideration of your residency decision from RDS up to three times within a 90-day period. For more information, call toll-free 844.319.3640.

It is the student’s responsibility to have the above completed by the following dates:

• 2025 Summer 1 - Deadline to submit RDS is June 4, 2025. 
• 2025 Summer 2 - Deadline to submit RDS is July 15, 2025.
• 2025 Fall - Deadline to submit RDS is October 1, 2025.

The academic calendar is subject to periodic review and revision. Please check the undergraduate academic online calendar for all important dates.

All students are expected to always conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner. Upon enrollment, a UNCP student receives no sanctuary from obedience to the law. In addition to the federal, state, and local laws that pertain to all citizens, a UNCP student must accept the institutional rules and regulations. The Student Code of Conduct outlines prohibited conduct and assists students in understanding their rights and responsibilities while living and learning in the university community.

In addition, students are important members of the academic community and the UNCP Academic Honor Code focuses on the essential components of academic honor and integrity. UNCP students are obligated to uphold basic standards of honesty and to actively encourage others to respect and maintain those standards.

The Student Code of Conduct and the Academic Honor Code can be located online at uncp.edu/handbook. Please review and familiarize yourself with both codes as they apply to all students including online, distance education and graduate students.
