Info for Parent of a Student

We are honored that you are considering Å·ÃÀAƬ for your child’s higher education. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Å·ÃÀAƬ is here to help you and your family through every stage of the application process, from providing information about financial aid to setting up campus visits and much more!

Although this process can seem daunting at times, it is well worth it. College offers many opportunities for personal, intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. It is a period of self-discovery and a time for taking charge of one’s life. Your son/daughter will assume new responsibilities and overcome new obstacles. They will also develop lifelong friendships and make fond memories.

Come visit Å·ÃÀAƬ, explore campus and ask questions. The community of Å·ÃÀAƬ, nestled in Buies Creek, North Carolina, will quickly feel like home.

Å·ÃÀAƬ offers a wide variety of majors for your son or daughter. Research our degree options today.

Before enrolling at Å·ÃÀAƬ, a student must first graduate from high school or complete an adult high school equivalency program, such as a GED. As soon as a student is finished with his/her junior year of high school, he/she can apply to Å·ÃÀAƬ.

Apply online for free. Required application materials simply include your student’s transcript(s). Å·ÃÀAƬ accepts both SAT and ACT scores, and scores are used for course placement only.

Note: If your student retakes the SAT or ACT and scores higher, send us all test attempts and we will superscore the tests for the best composite score.

Orientation is required for all accepted incoming freshmen, transfer, second bachelor’s degree, campus transfer, returning students and non-degree seeking (visiting) undergraduate students.

Orientation will provide new Å·ÃÀAƬ students with an overview of the resources available to students at Å·ÃÀAƬ.  Your student will also meet with an advisor, obtain a student identification card, meet other incoming Camels and complete other important enrollment tasks.

Parents will have the opportunity to meet with various departments and have pertinent questions answered.  Advice will also be given on how to help your student transition from high school to college living.

Students must submit a deposit for enrollment. This $250 deposit is important because it lets the university know to hold the student’s space.

The enrollment deposit isn’t a fee over and above tuition. The enrollment deposit is credited towards the tuition for the first semester of school.

Without paying the enrollment deposit, your student cannot be added to the Housing List or able to receive a course schedule. This delay can cause problems if there is a specific housing request or roommate preference. Housing assignments are first-come, first-served, so the earlier the Admissions Office gets the deposit, the more likely these housing requests can be honored.

The enrollment deposit also allows the university to plan for your student’s attendance. It makes sure things are set up for him/her such as access to email and library resources.

Visit our Enrollment Deposits page for more details.

All first-time, full-time students are required to live on campus for the first three years (6 semesters of enrollment) unless one of the following criteria is met:
