Get Ready for Life on Campus with Carolina Housing

It’s never too early to start preparing for your journey as a first-year Tar Heel. Carolina Housing is here to support you every step of the way, with a wide range of resources designed to ensure you’re informed, confident, and ready to settle into your new home.

To make things even easier, we’ve compiled all of our key materials and helpful links into one centralized hub: the Resident Resource Webpage. Bookmark it, review it often, and explore everything it has to offer. It’s your go-to destination for getting fully prepared to arrive on campus and thrive in your new community.

Our Summer Education Series features expert-led sessions from Carolina Housing staff, providing 101-style overviews on essential topics such as room assignments, package centers, residential life, tech setup, and student employment opportunities.

As you get closer to arrival, our comprehensive Fall Move-In Guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from move-in procedures to what to pack (and what to leave behind).

If you still have questions, we’re always happy to help. Reach out by email, give us a call, or stop by our office. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another year, welcome to Carolina Housing.

Change Your Address Before Moving Out!

April 21, 2025 | | |

Moving off campus for summer break? Make sure you change your address, so you don’t miss out on any mail!  

The Chapel Hill Post Office does not provide address change requests or forwarding services for on-campus residents. This means that you will need to change your addresses manually before you head out!  

Please note that all mail received after you check out of your residence hall will be returned to the sender. 

To ensure that you receive your mail wherever you are, you must update your address directly with any person or company that sends you mail. Make sure you send a text to any family or friends reminding them of your new mailing address. You can also update your address directly on any accounts online. Some examples include: 

  • Amazon and Other Retailers  
  • Banks, Credit Cards, Insurance Providers
  • Connect Carolina
  • Monthly Subscriptions
  • Voter Registration
  • Your Employer
  • Your Friends and Family
  • Healthcare Providers

When available, you can also opt for paperless statements, making it that much easier to receive your mail without needing to change your address!
