Canvas Course for UNC International Students

ISSS has developed a course in Canvas, the University’s learning management system, for UNC International Students. This course contains recordings of pre-arrival information sessions, the ISSS online orientation modules, additional campus and community resources, and a calendar of upcoming events hosted by ISSS.

This course is a resource intended to provide helpful information that can assist students as they transition to life in the United States. This Canvas page is available to current and incoming international degree-seeking and non-degree exchange students at UNC Chapel Hill.

Incoming students should review the ISSS online orientation modules prior to arriving in the U.S. and attending the in-person orientation sessions.
