Dear Niner Nation Parents and Family Members:

On behalf of the Dean of Students Office, we are delighted you have chosen to send your son or daughter to UNC Charlotte.  The Parent and Family Guide provides you with pertinent information about our faculty, administration, the University and surrounding Charlotte area.

The vision of the Dean of Students Office is to be the hub of the Niner Nation student experience.  Programs, activities, and services promote opportunities for learning and growth throughout a student’s college experience. Program areas housed in the Dean of Students Office include Fraternity and Sorority Life, Minority Student Support Services, New Student Services, Off Campus and Community Outreach, Parent and Family Services, Veteran’s Outreach, Student Conduct, Student Government Advising, and Women’s Programs.

In addition to coordinating programs and events, staff members provide support for any student who experiences a personal or medical crisis or who has a grievance or concern about the University. Our office also coordinates the settlement of academic and social conduct charges against individuals and student organizations.

We are excited to share this edition of the Parent and Family Guide with you and hope you find this publication helpful and informative. We appreciate your support and involvement in your student’s college experience.  Please feel free to contact us if we can assist you in the future.  Welcome to our family!  Go Niners!

Sincerely,


Dr. Michele Howard
