2024 New Administrator Orientation

Hello and Welcome to our 2024 New Administrators!!

Each year we organize orientation programming for all administrators who are new to this position at UNC Charlotte. You will be introduced to people and resources that will make your transition to our Institution as smooth as possible.

The format for the orientation will be hybrid, and spread over a couple of weeks before the start of the Fall semester. Presentations from each presenter will be posted to the UNC Charlotte CANVAS website about one week before new administrators meet in person for a Q & A Session with each presenter. We ask that you watch the presentations prior to the in-person session so you will be prepared to engage with the presenter.

Please see the Orientation schedule below, and check back on the CANVAS website during the last week of July to access the virtual presentations we would like you to watch prior to meeting the presenters face to face for the in-person Q&A Session related to their presentation. The location for the face-to-face sessions will also be posted.

PLEASE NOTE: CANVAS CAN BE PICKY IN TERMS OF BROWSERS YOU CHOOSE TO ACCESS THE PRESENTATIONS. CHROME IS PREFERABLE, FIREFOX IS OK, BUT SAFARI IS RIGHT OUT. PLEASE DO NOT USE SAFARI.
