Second Year
Launch
!
Your First Year is ready to help you LAUNCH into next year with music, activities, and giveaways. Join us on Tuesday, April 30th from 11 am to 2 pm in front of the fountain at Moran Commons. Stop by to pick-up a finals survival bag and take a photo booth picture to commemorate your last days as a first-year student!
Do you live on campus?
If so, start organizing your plans for move-out. Your RA and the
Housing & Residence Life website
can provide helpful information about the check-out policies and procedures. Move-out dates are based on the final exam schedule; all residents are scheduled to move out 24 hours after their last exam.
Finals Schedule
Final exams start next week! The
final exam schedule
and your syllabi are good resources to confirm the timing and location for each of your final exams. Start studying now to make sure that you are ready! In addition, remember to return any
rented textbooks
to the UNCG Bookstore before your unique return rental due date.
Last Day of Class & Reading Day
The countdown is on. Wednesday, May 1st is the final day of class. Reading Day will be Thursday, May 2nd. This is a day that is entirely dedicated for you to study. Classes will not be in session, but offices will be open. Plan to get up early and spend the full day studying for finals!
