Course registration information:
All new freshmen and new transfer students should plan to attend embark, UNC Asheville's new student orientation program.
Orientation is the first and most important step in becoming a
Bulldog and is required for student success at UNC Asheville. At
embark, you’ll learn about academic advising, registering for
classes, campus resources, and much more. Each session is packed
with information and chances to meet other new students. You will
also have the opportunity to meet with an academic advisor, with
whom you will review your academic history and goals and plan your
first semester schedule. After you meet with your advisor, you will
be able to register for classes online through OnePort.
After you submit your tuition deposit,
you should register for embark. To register for
embark, please select the appropriate
link on the right (Freshman embark RSVP or Transfer
embark
RSVP). Parent orientation is also provided during embark. Parents who are interested in attending
embark
should RSVP by selecting the Parent Orientation RSVP link on
the right.
Other new students will receive information about their registration process in their Admissions materials.
