New Student Orientation at UNC Asheville is the first and most important step in becoming a Bulldog and is required for success at UNC Asheville. During orientation, new students learn about academic advising, registering for classes, campus resources, and much more. Each orientation session is packed with fun activities and chances to meet other new students. Embark employs UNC Asheville students to assist with helping new students meet other new students, learn about campus resources and social activities, and navigate the curriculum requirements, and find their niche here.
For more information, please contact us at orient@unca.edu or 828.232.5110.
Once you've registered for your embark session, please follow these Next Steps as well as review the General FAQS to prepare for your embark experience. Parents will not be provided overnight accomodations so please visit the area accomodations link to the right.
Check out our orientation handbook as it serves as a great resource for what is to come during orientation.
