How long is Summit Phase II?
The Summit Phase II Program for freshmen is a four-day program with
special events Friday through Sunday before the start of classes on
August 19. The Summit Program for transfers is one day in length; however,
transfer students are invited to participate in the special events that
occur during the freshmen program.
What is the purpose of
Phase II?
There are four goals of Phase II. The first goal is involvement. The
entire university community is involved in the Phase II Program. In the
days before school starts, the campus is focused on its new students.
The second goal is our mission. Through Phase II we want to enhance
first year students' understanding of the mission and values of the
university. The third goal is connections. We want a seamless transition
for all new students into the institution by assisting them with the
familiarization of their educational responsibilities, university
programs and services, and the UNCA campus culture. The forth goal is
support. The new students will be provided with a positive academic and
social experience at UNC
They will gain knowledge of the resources that are available and the
knowledge on how to access those resources. We want you to feel
comfortable with your new "home away from home."
Who is Phase II for?
Phase II is for all new students attending UNCA for the first time.
Both freshmen and transfers have their own programs; however, they are
both invited to participate in any and all activities during the Summit
Program.
Do I have to attend Phase II?
This program is required for all new students and is a great way to
get your UNCA career off to a good start. Phase II is the perfect place
to meet other students and start making connections that will help you
to feel at home at UNC Asheville.
What does Phase II
have to offer for me?
As you go through Phase II, you will learn about our campus,
services offered to students, organizations, registration information,
and get an overall picture about what it is like to go to a liberal arts
university. This program will also allow you to get to know other new
students, current students, and faculty and staff of various departments
and offices. During Phase II, students hear the ins and outs of campus
life, get to know their new UNCA family, and enjoy entertainment and
guest speakers on topics related to college life.
During Phase II, students will be given a weekend with nothing to do but make friends. This opportunity can never happen again. No homework or projects. Just time to meet new people.
When is Phase II?
For the Fall of 2008, Phase II is scheduled from August 15-17.
Do I move in during Phase II?
All new residential students move into their residence halls on the
first day of Phase II in August.
When will I be able to
register?
Most new freshmen will be able to register from home after attending
Phase I.
