Cost
The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid provides an estimated cost of attendance for one year of undergraduate education. Note that North Carolina residents are entitled to lower tuition rates than nonresidents.
Tuition and fees are assessed on a semester basis and are due prior to term registration. Tuition, fees and room rent are subject to change without notice. Payments may be made in advance, in person or by mail.
Visa and MasterCard credit cards are acceptable.
Accounts not paid in full by the due date are subject to cancellation of registration.
The last day to drop a course for credit on student financial accounts is two weeks from the first day of classes for each semester.
Withdrawals are prorated over a period of nine weeks at a rate of one-tenth of the semester's bill after deduction of a $25 administrative charge. The last date for credit on student financial accounts for withdrawal is nine weeks after the first day of classes.
Financial Aid
UNC Campus Scholarships Programs
The University of North Carolina offers a two-part scholarship program to promote educational access and diversity.
Part I provides need-based scholarships for undergraduate students with "exceptional financial need" whose enrollment contributes to the intellectual experiences and diversity of the undergraduate population. Students must be residents of North Carolina who are enrolled in full-time degree credit course work.
Part II provides need-based scholarship for undergraduate Native American students. To be eligible for these funds, students must be residents of North Carolina and must be Native American, defined as an individual who maintains cultural and political identification as a Native American through membership in an Indian Tribe recognized by the State of North Carolina or by the United States.
Fellowships and Other Awards from Outside Sources
Students interested in awards offered by sources outside the University must apply directly to the granting agency. The school maintains notices that have been received concerning grants and awards.
Other Financial Aid
The University's Office of Scholarships and Student Aid processes loan and federal work-study applications for students with documented financial need. The Carolina Covenant also is available for students who come from historically low-income families.

Other Work Opportunities
Numerous student assistant positions are available in on-campus and off-campus information agencies and libraries for students in programs of the School of Information and Library Science. Students must apply directly to the individual departments/organizations for these positions. The school receives notices of part-time job and internship opportunities and makes this information available to students via the SILS listservs.
