Important Update on International Travel

March 31, 2025 

By tnguyen1

International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) at UNC-Chapel Hill advises that there is currently a heightened risk of international travel for all international students and scholars due to the executive order titled, “Protecting The United States From Foreign Terrorists And Other National Security And Public Safety Threats.” We have communicated with international students and scholars, as well as relevant stakeholders. If you have immediate concerns or questions, please contact ISSS directly. 

Final Exam Excuses

The Dean of Students office, including the University Approved Absence Office (UAAO), does NOT issue University Approved Absences or Final Exam Excuses for final exams or dates occurring during the final exam period. 

DO NOT SUBMIT AN ONLINE REQUEST FOR UNIVERSITY APPROVED ABSENCES FOR FINAL EXAMS.  

If you will miss a final exam due to a medical or mental health concern, family or personal emergency, religious observance, or exam schedule conflict, please follow the instructions on page linked below and communicate directly with your instructor to schedule a make-up.
