Schedule a Visit

We love welcoming prospective students to Carolina Law for a visit. During the fall (mid-September through mid-November) and spring (mid-January through mid-April) semesters, visitors have the opportunity to attend an admissions session led by an admissions team member; tour the building with current students; and possibly observe a first-year law class (space is limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis).

Self-guided tours are the primary means of seeing the school from late April into early September, or on weekdays when the building is open but scheduled visits are not available. However, a member of the admissions team is happy to meet with you during this time to answer any questions about Carolina Law, the admissions process, or law school in general. Please let us know when you plan to stop by so we can welcome you accordingly.

For Spring 2024, in-person visits will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays (for admitted students ONLY) starting at 10:00am with a class observation and immediately followed by a tour of the law school building given by current students. Visits will conclude around 1:00pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. In-person visits will also be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays (all are welcome) starting at 11:00am with an admissions session and immediately followed by a tour of the law school building given by current students. For visitors not registered for a class observation on Tuesdays or Thursdays, their visit will conclude around 1:00pm. For those visitors registered for a class observation, their visit will conclude at 2:15pm.

Class observation registration is limited and on a first-come, first served basis. Due to space limitations, only prospective students will be permitted to observe a class. Guests, however, are invited to participate in all other aspects of the visit.

You must provide at least two business days’ notice when scheduling your in-person visit.

Parking

Parking is available in either of the two nearby visitor pay lots (see maps.unc.edu/parking/visitor/). Both are located within a five-to-ten-minute walk of the law school. Do NOT park in the visitor spaces next to the law school building. If you do, it is possible you might receive a ticket. Walking instructions from both lots are below.
