TRACE LETTER Dear Student,
We are pleased that you will be joining us at UNC Charlotte. As a transfer student you may have questions or interests related to the following areas:
The Office of Academic Initiatives For Mentoring Students is committed to providing quality academic support services to increase the retention and graduation of students.
As a transfer student you are eligible for the benefits mentioned above, and much more, through UNC Charlotte’s Transfer Resources for Advancing the College Experience (TRACE) program, sponsored by the office of Academic Initiatives For Mentoring Students. This program is dedicated to facilitating a smooth transition for minority transfer students into UNC-Charlotte, by connecting students to academic support service such as academic advising, workshops, and tutoring.
Additionally, to ensure that your time is used wisely at UNC-Charlotte, we keep transfer students aware of academic policies and procedures that may affect their graduation. Each year policies are updated and revised within most departments on campus. It is important as a transfer student to know how these changes affect you and the appropriate action to take to stay on time with your respective academic program. Moreover, typically transfer students are not aware of how their credits transfer into the university and not made aware of any outstanding general education requirements they may have. The TRACE Program will work with students to understand precisely what is required of them to achieve graduation in a timely manner. Finally, if you are having any problem that our office can assist you with, we will happily serve as an intercessor to rectify the situation.
At the beginning of each semester we offer an orientation to TRACE students. Throughout the semester we keep students informed of events occurring on and off campus, through an email listserv. Also, we invite TRACE students to join some of the activities we sponsor for our other programs. Also, we hold social activities, such as pizza parties, to allow transfer students to meet and get to know each other.
To apply, please print out the application and send it in by mail to:
UNC Charlotte Academic Initiatives For Mentoring Students –TRACE Program c/o Kristen McManus 9201 University City Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28223-0001
If you would like to visit the AIMS office, we are located at 318 Fretwell. If you have any questions, please call Kristen McManus at (704) 687-4386 or Dontressa Ashford at (704) 687-6080. We look forward to meeting you.
