MY UNC Portal
Know about the MyUNC Portal? This is your one-stop place to do virtually anything you need to do online. You can search Google, check the weather, catch up on the news, check which books you need for classes, fine-tune your class schedule, and much more! If you haven't been there yet, check it out!


Oracle Calendar
Although it has nothing to do with the gods in ancient Greece, they may have guided the creators of this software. Once installed on your computer, this program serves as a calendar to help you manage your busy schedule. But this is where the fun begins. You can also view other people's schedules and find out when they're available. It will make it much easier to schedule an appointment with a professor or to simply find out when you can meet your friend for dinner. The more people who sign up, the more useful Oracle is. And, yes, it syncs with your PDA. Instructions on setup can be found here.

March Madness! Freshman Soccer Player Jaime Gilbert.  Jaime had an assist in UNC's first home game of the year to help lead the Heels to a 3-0 victory against Florida. We're looking forward to another amazing season! GO HEELS!!!
